    Thought I would confirm that you have read that and it would be just recently that I saw an article on the relationship of asthma & fibro. I can not be sure though what site or what paper/magizine I did see that in.

     

    You have me thinking now so not at this present time but friday afternoon I will try hunting that up.

    If you can find that article, I'd really be interested in reading it.  I've never heard of a direct link between fibromyalgia and asthma, although the two can certainly occur together.  It's not unusual for people with FM to have allergies, which can be connected to asthma.  I've always suspected an indirect link because of the hypersensitivity that exists with both, but I have no scientific proof of that.

     

    There's also evidence of a magnesium deficiency in both, but the same can be said of several other illnesses as well, so I'm not sure how significant that is.
