My personal favorite is: "Don't they have a pill for that? I saw it on a TV commercial."
If you have Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I hope this is a bright spot in one of your painful days. We of all people need a good laugh every now and then.
If you don't have these syndromes, but you know someone who does...get educated. You can start by reading my page Fibromyalgia Info. You'll then understand why some of Dr. Kevorkian's patients had fibromyalgia. If you don't know who he is, well he was famous for assisting those patients in committing suicide.
May God bless you today over and above what you are able to receive!
Much Love,
