Fibromyalgia FM/a Test Scandal

[Alan_Silverman]

Selling Certainty

This is a long well researched article on fibromyalgia and Dr. Bruce Gillis' FM/a test advertised on SiriusXM. Dr. Gillis claimed to the associated with the Faustman Lab at Mass. General Hospital. I called the lab and asked about the test and was told that Dr. Gillis was not associated with the lab. I sent this information to a reporter I knew and that eventually became this article in STAT magazine. At the end in the comment section I tell how I became involved.

I have three autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, crohn's and restless leg syndrome. They are mostly under control.

Good luck and best regards,

Alan

1. Nice work, Alan

Sorry to hear that you have fibro and two other autoimmune diseases.

I've had fibromyalgia for many years. I began taking duloxetine for a different problem and found that it keeps the pain level down, except when there's too much stress. It's not a cure, and doesn't do much for fatigue.

Let's hope someone comes up with a cure before too long.

It can be terrible. I've got most of it in hand lately.
If you know any other fibro sufferers who might sign up for this test (It costs $1000) please let them know.
Good luck,
Al
