Why I love the web
Having fibromyalgia, I know that it’s important for me to stay current on the latest medical news. Also, having fibromyalgia means that I’m just too tired to dig for a lot of information. I keep hoping that I’ll wake up & read a headline that there was a cure found while I was sleeping.
Until then, I still need to read about everything possible, because I like to understand what my doctor is talking about. So today, I was looking at a site called Medical News where I read about radiology / imaging. It makes it a lot easier to be informed when everything is in one place. Yet again, one thing that I know that I should do, but don’t usually have the energy for, has become a lot easier thanks to the internet.

Here is a link to a recent FDA announcement:

Its regarding the first FDA approved drug for treatment of fibromyalgia, called Lyrica. Not only that but it is a pretty significant sign that the medical world and the world at large is starting to take the disease a little more seriously. About f****n time, eh?
