Did you by chance hear about the new "cure" for fybromyalgia? 20/20 aired a piece last Friday on this.
It seems that many Fybromyalgia and Chronic fatigue patients had an abnormality at the base of their skull that was putting pressure on the nerves from the brain. It can be found by having an MRI.
The Neurosurgeon performed surgery to release the pressure and patients with fybromyalgia resulted in their pain and fatigue going away.
People were thankful when the Neurosurgeon found the abnormality because their doctors, bosses,friends and family members all thought it was all in their head which resulted in depression for the aflicted person.
If you know the web address for 20/20's web site they said they would have the info there, sorry I don't know the web address, but maybe you can watch the next 20/20 and get it.
Good luck!
