Check out this link to a great episode of Dr. Oz about fibromyalgia. I have written several posts about my experience with borderline fibromyalgia as well as chronic fatigue: feeling like I have the flu, exhaustion, and having constant pain in the thoracic region of my back. This episode will really wake up everyone who sees it and hopefully help a lot of women who have this condition--according to Dr. Oz, millions of women have it because many doctors are unaware of how to diagnose it. I lived with feeling like I had the flu and exhaustion for 25 years until it was finally diagnosed as chronic fatigue and borderline fibromyalgia (which is no picnic.)

I like my doctor's protocol better than what was discussed on the show. I have discussed Dr. Edelberg's protocol in previous blogs. He offers very specific natural treatments and cautions on the use/overuse of pain killers. (He authored the fabulous book Healing Fibromyalgia.)
