		<description>Wish this information was more widely known.  Having been in an accident and displaying these symptoms about 4 months later, I had to fight the insurance company in order to get treatment.  Without hitting my head/face they argued that there was nothing to indicate the accident was to blame for the pain.  I eventually won minimal treatment after months of negotiations</description>

		<description>I think Dr. Clauw ought to hit some of these naysayers in the thumb with a sledge hammer and ask them if it hurt.  When they jump up and down screaming, "WHAT  *)#%@$ DO YOU MEAN - Did it hurt? - YOU BLOODY FOOL! Of COURSE IT HURTS!"

To which Dr. Clauw, while stroking his chin, might say something like, "Hmmmm..  I don't know about that.  You SAY it hurts, but I can't SEE hurt or feel YOUR pain, so for all I know, you're ACTING like you have pain to irk me.  Just to be sure, I'll have to clobber your thumb once more to see if you react a little more like you're in REAL pain.  Hmmm."

Okay, sarcasm aside, let the real doctors who've got real experience and real research do the real talking for us fibromites - and not some dimwit who wants his 15 minutes of fame looking stupid.

I'd be more concerned about what motivates these naysayers in the first place.  Could it be that the insurance companies want to keep their profits and need to eliminate certain medical conditions so they don't have to pay for prescription medication?  Insurance companies are already turning down people who have filed claims for damages due to Hurricane Katrina.  The insurance companies are desperately looking for an out in having to honor insurance claims by people who have paid their premiums.  

I'd be looking more closely for any nefarious reasons fueling the fibromyalgia deniers.  What's in it for the deniers?  Who benefits by denying fibromyalgia even exists?

Fibromyalgia exists and there's proof of it.  Make the NAYSAYERS prove it doesn't exist.  That'll keep them busy for a good while..:)</description>
