I'm quite sure you can get it in your 20s. There are FMS sites all over the 'net where you could double-check that. But with or without that doc, there's plenty of good advice out there for FMS patients that isn't prescription stuff. I'm wondering if some time on a good FMS email list might help you.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 FMS can occur to people at any age, but is a bit less common in people over age 65. Yes, there are children who have it. I recently read a series of very disturbing essays from the UK concerning the horrible way kids with FMS and similar diagnoses are treated by their socialized medical system. In some cases, if there is any resistance to a prescribed course of treatment from the parents, the children are simply taken away. And in the UK, psychiatrists have succeeded in taking over most FMS treatment for themselves. This means that most cases are forced on to extremely destructive drugs which cause greater damage. Don't get me started on this stuff. Most MDs are totally incompetent in this area.

You also present yet one more good case against socialized medicine. Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
