Not sure if the above will work ! Maybe try copy and paste it. If your on twitter where I just listened to the radio show it's on FND Action twitter page too.

Well worth a listen. Thanks Lucy

Wow, I actually liked that, thank you for sharing. I especially liked that the speaker at the end basically told the other doctor off and said no, we need to be there to help these patients, we need to work with their other doctors to make sure that they are taken care of. If we treated all of these people like it is all in their heads, then this problem, and this problem and this one etc.. would all be in their heads as well.. That was awesome and tastefully done.

There is more to this than they know and truly I feel that being a Dr. is just being a person with an educated guess. We don't know everything about the human body especially the brain, but we can just hope that they keep looking for answers.

This is not just all in our heads, we are all different, with different symptoms etc.. I personally do feel that there is a disconnect somewhere in there, what caused it I don't know, it could be a variety of things such as PTSD, abuse, medications, viruses etc..

Is there a trigger that sets people off? Who knows. For me, walking in front of a cold freezer at a grocery store, or being out in the cold air can get me going, but going to bed can too.

Are we just more stressed out than anyone else. I highly doubt that.

Do we all have PTSD or were sexually abused as children? No I would say not, because more people around the world would have this if it was all up to that.

The questions could go on and on to see why we are suffering from this, and others are not. There has got to be a reason out there that this disconnect of information from the brain to the rest of the body is happening, but what it is, is just a mystery. I did like this web cast though, it was done very well. thanks again for sharing.
