F.Y.I.
In 1981, the American Medial Association (AMA) recognized FMS as a true physical illness and a major cause of disability, and in 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) as part of the Copenhagen Declaration officially declared fibromyalgia a syndrome. Because of this action, the illness was given an ICD code (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems).

An excellent piece of info on fibro so we re recognized you would think that would lead to more papers being written and Doctors with more knowledge on the subject at the moment it seems to be a lottery as to whether your own Doc has taken the time to keep up to date on Fibro its treatments and the signs that you are suffering.
