Fibromyalgia expert Dr Daniel Clauw's findings

I came across this Ottawa Conference Report that has Fibromyalgia expert Dr Daniel Clauw's take on Fibromyalgia and the CFSness of the chronic illness. The report might seem too long to read but Dr Clauw's detailed insights and observations make it a must-read for anyone who has Fibromyalgia and anyone who knows someone with the condition.

In this report, Dr Daniel Clauw focuses on:

• Central Pain and CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) connection
• How an Anti-Depressant helps
• The genetic implications
• The stress component
• What effects memory and concentration
• Medication, decline of opioid and alternative treatments
• The future in FM

I highly recommend reading the report - Ottawa Conference Reports III: The Most Expensive Disorder: Clauw on the Fibromyalgia and CFS-ness of Chronic Illness- By Cort Johnson
The report is dated December 27, 2011.

About Dr Clauw: He is a Professor of Anesthesiology and Medicine (in the Division of Rheumatology) at the University of Michigan, USA.
