Dear Scooter,Thank-you so much for your words.No one who is not where we are can ever understand how we have been taken over the hill.That is an expression I learned recently.If I may,I will tell u how it was explained to me.It was through a movie about a black nurse who was doing research I believe the movie is Miss Evers Boys.She later at the end of her life told how they with-held medication that would have saved these fellows lives who had sexually transmitted disease.They could have given these fellows penicillen.But didn't .And all of them died or went insane.She later at the very end of her life described to congress I believe that she thought she had been taken over the hill.They tell you all you have to do is make it over that hill and help will come.So you do.And you find that there is even a higher hill.And so you stick with it because someone made a PROMISE that there was going to be help.By that time it is too late to go back and there you are.You have spent all your life believing that there was an end in sight.And help never comes.It just seems to me that we seek help.We are told it is all in our minds.Well if doctors say that aren't we supposed to believe what a doctor says.Because he is a doctor.A person who went to school and took an oath.Seems to me I would rather put my faith in someone I have never met.like you Scooter.Simply because you already believe me.And how do you know that.Because if you read what everybody writes.We basically have the same story.Loss of self.Loss of friends,loss of husbands and friends merely because we are in pain and want it to end.No wonder the leading cause of death of someone with Fibromyalgia is suicide.They tell us they will help.But that help never comes.I am so tired of the injustice of it all.They did the same thing at work to get rid of me.I was costing them too much in medical bills so they found a way to get me out.The establishment sucks and I think we should band together and come up with some kind of rules that we can be backed up by.Your words meant everything to me Scooter and I want to thank you so much just for caring enough to say the things you did.God Bless you and keep you always ..........Jo
