linkey, please! I saw, after the University paper posted the story, it got picked up by bigger and bigger outlets. The story was in USA Today a few days ago.

THANK YOU, AGAIN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, for being the brave voice that will speak truth to power - who is in a position for such action to matter. Really. He has done a great thing to make information available to the mainstream who are always willing to believe lies from authoritarian sources before studies from scientists just going about their business.

If you have a link and can post, that would be great. I'm very sick right now and not online much. I'm hoping I can avoid a doctor visit, but if I cannot get the pain under control, I will have to see a doctor.

I have fibromyalgia - something I don't talk about here because usually it's fairly manageable with medication. But I ran out of medication, had not yet changed my health care provider, and so I am in a world of pain. Cymbalta helps with fibro, major anxiety, major depressions and ptsd - and the first three are all clusters of the last one.

I have been taking handfuls of ibuprofen every few hours, then looked through boxes with old meds and found some klonopin, which helped stop the intial three days of spasms, but now the nerve irritation has migrated from my right back to my left shoulder. I called the hospital after the first three days but now have to wait for the weekend. I thought I had gotten past it and was so happy - I did some mild stretches to help because where the pain was feels like a giant bruise, but when I started to pick up things, it suddenly kicked in again. This is beyond frustrating.
