I'm jealous cuz I still have to look at the keys to type. :redface: and even so I still have sooo many typos. I proofread and edit before I hit submit and I still don't catch everything. :squiggle: No such luck for me on MSN instant messenger ... oh it gets real bad. :crossx:

    My son was originally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at the age of 8. He had many of the symptoms but after several more specialists he had unique purple blotches start to appear at his joints. He was in so much pain that you could not even touch him. He was eventually diagnosed with HSP. Henoch Shonlein Purpura. The condition comes and goes after spring respiratory infections from asthma. It is under control right now with serious changes in his diet. Certain foods had been triggering allergies that triggered the infections and brought on the HSP. We had done a lot of research on FM during this time. It is so debilitating to the people that had it we wondered if he was going to have a normal life. This all came on the heals of my daughter being treated for Turners Syndrome. Had in not been for the incredible people at Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals... that would have been a very tough one to get through. I know that Pharmaceutical companies often get a bad rap for greed or rushing products to market but these people made it possible for my daughter to lead a normal life.
    I hope you have a Happy MothersÂ’ Day!

    I'm glad your kids are okay and managing with their conditions too. :smile: Thank-you for offering your understanding and for the Mother's Day wish. :smile:

    Well if you didn't you might not have discovered the great value of wetnaps :idea: ... so try to be glad about that. :wink: Seriously, anyone with IBS has my empathy. It can really limit making plans and being punctual.

    I hate to say this, but a lot of people refer to this as TBD.........Tired But Disease- reason..................
    I believe it was already brought up in the first couple of posts on this thread...
    A lot of people are diagnosed with FM that don't have it.......
    I don't have an opinion on it because I'm not educated enough on this specific condition................
    Does anyone know if this is just a name for a condition, or is there specific blood test that actually proves a person has FM?

    So far no difinitive tests. As some have posted it is a catch all for many undiagnosed or unrecognizable syndromes. The Mayo Clinic is doing more research to try and define it better. Attached is a chart that shows the sensitive points that help identify or screen FM.

    From the MayoClinic.com:
    Diagnosing fibromyalgia is difficult because there isn't a single, specific diagnostic laboratory test. In fact, before receiving a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, you may go through several medical tests, such as blood tests and X-rays, only to have the results come back normal. Although these tests may rule out other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and multiple sclerosis, they can't confirm fibromyalgia.
    Still a lot of debate about it. More and more of these studies are being done to eliminate environmental factors as the cause. Food preservatives,water and air polution, household cleaners and chemicals etc. Hope this helps.
