Skillfully Well & Painfully Aware 
I have a lot of grey matter….not only in, but in the hair…half, half. My grey matter was diagnosed in 1986…..hit by a car at age 13..almost a fatally, major….then sport head injuries…throw in a couple relationship blows. Specialists said loads of white matter, but far enough away from causing harm to vital brain areas…..so, I believe this article should be passed around/preached to all medical, so US PAIN PATIENTS get approached with the proper understanding and empathy we deserve. Believe me, Seattle Fibromyalgia International Team will be including in our 2015 event….Thanks so-o-o much for posting. I am very impressed with your organization!!!!!!!! God bless us all:-) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
