So where did FM/ME Come from.?

Please do not take this letter as official information from Gov't sources or otherwise- it's only my thoughts. Its my thoughts thru looking at old newspapers online, info on the rebuilding our country after the 2nd world war- what was done and how etc.. so its only my conclusion.. you might agree; or not..

A long time ago, In 1995 to be precise, the DWP asked me what I thought where my FM came from, this is what I told them- and they never disagreed... I said; In my honest opinion after the war when GB was on its knees, we needed food and a lot of it- exports were costing us a fortune from the USA or other countries, The bank of GB was empty, almost.. The Gov't of the day asked all land owners to grow as much food as they could as quick as they can- so fertilizers came into force in a big way, thousands of tons of unapproved, unknown side effects, unknown ingredients of this stuff was dumped on the ground to make vegetables grow faster- I am a second generation, ie- born 1959- so mum and dad ate what was being used to grow food with no side effects- it was the like of you and me that has been the subject of these unknown side effect products- most of which are now known to be harmful and banned. curious?.. Google for yourself, do some looking around- the info is out there.. I just think that thank god we won the war and got back on our feet, and the next generation shouldn't suffer as we do now- Kazz.

This is good for the true facts- copy and paste but not after the letter (&)

Icelandic disease was 1950 so problem already with the theory and Florence Nightingale pre dates that by much more. Organo phosphates are possibly in the mix but long way from all of the answer, just my thoughts.

I wrote it to get people thinking.. debate is good- it gives others the chance to do research, ask q's etc... best wishes..kazz

Debate is good the canaries in a coal mine that warn of unsafe conditions, we could be those canaries, ignoring the warnings could well have effects for society. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is another that has little understanding from the unaffected -absence of evidence is evidence of absence for the sceptics, not the same for the sufferers though that need answers for their suffering.

Well said, a bit over my head- but I do understand the meaning. and if it brings questions to the table- then I've done my job right..! regards, k.xx

Absolutely question everything and talk, such a precious freedom is not enjoyed everywhere. A job done right by asking questions

I have read that, going by the records of the time a Roman emperor showed all the symptoms of fibro and going even further back . so did Job.

Now that I didn't know.. amazing how far Fibro can be seen in the past- even under different names for it.... regards, K.x

I found this in my collection of pins. It only shows the evolution of Fibro awareness from a medical point of view.

But if you think of historical books how many women were described as sickly one day. well enough the next.

If they were poor they were classed as lazy.and slovenly, a few did get recognition of having a real illness. but only if they started to look sick.

In rich women they had "A nervous disposition" They were allowed to lie in bed all day and then find themselves well enough to do what they wanted.

This of cause is just an idea of mine and there is ,as far as i know nothing written about it.

Its a very good opinion, and which I would say has merit- we will probably never know where or when FM started, but at least in this day and age we have medical intervention-..!
