FEATURED ARTICLE October 10, 2007 THIS FRIDAY, Oct 12 - Meet and Question Fibro Doctor Dan Clauw, MD, in the ImmuneSupport.com Chat Room (Noon to 1 pm PST, 3-4 EST) As head of a patient-centered research powerhouse at the University of Michigan, Dr. Clauw has cutting edge insights into the why and how of Fibromyalgia pain - plus a wealth of advice. Read about what he's been doing and ask him anything. ARTICLES, EVENTS, SOLUTIONS See 5 more new articles Dr. Clauw on the Effective Treatment of Fibromyalgia - An Update Dr. Clauw explains his approach to treating Fibromyalgia patients, and offers a vision of the future. Two-drug combo blocks pain without disrupting other functions - Harvard "A specific combination of two molecules" able to block only pain-related neurons may promise pain relief "without impairing thinking, alertness, coordination, or other vital functions of the nervous system." RESEARCH ABSTRACTS See 10 more new abstracts Nerve fiber abnormalities identified in FM patients' skin Electron microscopic analysis of FM patients' skin tissue finds unusual patterns in nerve fibers and "insulators" that may contribute to or result from their lower pain threshold. Proposal that FM patients be tested for inherited protein deficiency Based on blood test data, researchers propose that a significant number of FM patients may have inherited Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency, and that FM patients should be tested for this treatable disorder.

Those of us with chronic pain...have a common bond. Pain and understanding. We know about each other, we understand each other and we care for one another... Whether we pick up the phone or meet for lunch, we are reaching out to others and sharing our common bond. From this we will see how our experience can help others and how they in turn can help us. From Living With Chronic Pain One Day At A Time by Mark Allan Zabawa.
