Y no cure

[littlejan]

It really puzzles me, why can't doctors find a cure for this horrible fibromyalgia. Don't make sense omen.

Hi littlejan

Can you imagine if a research scientist was paid the same salary as a premier league footballer? Can you imagine if a medical researcher was paid the same salary as a pop star. Can you imagine if the lady on the hospital ward who brought you your cup of tea was paid the same salary as a bank boss?

The world would be a beautiful place where nobody ever grew sick, where nobody ever needed cheap generic medicine, and a world where compassion and love toward our fellow man would wash away all the pain and sadness that we have today!

One day there will be a cure, science dictates this, all illnesses, diseases and sicknesses are eventually cured. Until then I am sending you love, compassion and warmth in abundance, and of course, the true understanding of a fellow sufferer.

My brother is a medical researcher and its difficult to acquire the funding especially as the economy is so dire He's a Doctor of Chemistry and has worked all over Europe but funding is now being given to home nationals so he is having to return back to the UK with his family after 20 yrs but his job hunting and finance hunting is not going well he works with genetics.

I like the analogies Ken and that is an interesting way to put it

Hi zeb73

Thank you for that. I hope your brother can get everything sorted. I will be sending him positive thoughts and good wishes. I had a friend who worked in New Zealand up until 2 years ago. The same happened there!

All my hopes and dreams

Hi Sthandra - Have ever read or seen the movie 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers?' Its almost identical x

[Sthandra in reply to TheAuthor]

Hep it was good but in the host one of the aliens falls in love with the hosts boyfriend they no all that the host body knows has all their memories, she goes looking for him he's with the resistance finds him they finally trusts her and she swaps sides becomes one obf the resistance, its a good book I've read it about 6 times.

Hi littlejan

I'm afraid its all about funding

I agree though but if they can't find the cause they can't find the cure, sad but true.

Try and keep your spirits up littlejan we're here for you if you want to chat

Sending you warming and comforting fluffies

Hello Littlejan,

In my personal opinion the complexity of the illness (please see below) and the lack of the amount of research as mentioned, could be contributing to the problems faced in trying to find ways to manage or cure the condition.

One part of the complex problems faced by people with Fibromyalgia is 'Dysregulation of the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, which is a complex set of interactions between the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenal gland. The HPA axis controls reactions to stress and regulates various body processes including digestion, the immune system, mood, and energy usage (Lindsey Middlemiss)

However,huge strides have been made in understanding of the condition in recent years and research continues to be carried out to push this understanding forward further and develop more and more effective treatments for the condition (Lindsey Middlemis, founder of FibroAction)

fibroaction.org/Pages/What-...

We, FibroAction state that 'Our vision is that the needs of people affected by fibromyalgia are universally recognised and met, with fast and accurate diagnoses and easy access to optimal treatment and care available to all people affected by Fibro in the UK

We would like to say how grateful to all that support us in any way. To find out how you can get involved, please see the link;
