As I was preparing material for my presentations to the doctor groups at our local hospital, I read A LOT of medical papers on fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I read research papers and papers that summarized treatments. I read about fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome in children and in adults. I read and read and read.
During all of this reading, one name kept coming up. Dr. Daniel Clauw, Rheumatologist and Anesthesiologist at University of Michigan, has been studying fibromyalgia for years and years. He is my new hero, because I think he really understands the syndrome, and is a huge advocate for us.
Check out the link to a New York Times article entitled “Getting to the Roots of Fibromyalgia Pain,” in which Dr. Clauw is interviewed.
Take that all of you naysayers and disbelievers–hard scientific evidence regarding fibromyalgia is all laid out for you.
Thank you so much, Dr. Clauw, and please keep up your good work!
