There are some that had either some types of dental "surgeries" or
procedures, and then developed "some symptoms" of FM, CFS and so forth.
When the 1st FM/CFS was "diagnosed" in Colorado(it was in "Lake Tahoe", by a doctor(s) there in
a small town that "suddenly" MANY of
that small town "developed" symptoms, that at first they felt that there
was a new "outbreak" of a disease never seen before here. Many of the
residents suddenly who had been very healthy became lethargic, had joint
pain, the ran a very slight fever, some had "rashes" but many of those
symptoms are now known as FM/CFS. That doctor if I am correct still runs
a clinic there and I read the (book) I believe there is a book he wrote
about it. It was almost "insane" how all of these so called been
healthy residents suddenly could not walk, or could not do their jobs,
were not able to leave their homes, because the horrible fatigue, and
other symptoms were so bad, they could not function. I recall one was a
mail man that had been doing his job for many years and he went into the
clinic there, and again he almost could not work, because of suddenly
being so ill. They tested the ground, water, thought maybe that had been
"poisoned" or some type of "something" had just "hit" that town, due to
the many who were becoming ill. Not long after that, then they began
seeing patients with the same symptoms in California, and states other
than Colorado and that one town. So, that is when these 2 doctors began a
clinic just FOR FM/CFS and I believe it still exists and they are still
one of the huge establishments trying to figure out why people suddenly
come down with these illnesses... anyone out there who knows about this
and I know many of you do, please jump in and help out if you know
more. I will look up the name of the clinic there and the town and post
it in a moment.
Here is some about the original story of CFS/ME which now I believe are all "connected" as FM...

Okay
I am incorrect IT was in Lake Tahoe actually when this all first
happened and it was "Peterson" that began seeing these patients..I
believe the "Peterson" clinic is there still and larger... they are
still continuing their own "journey" to figure out
what it is... It was first known as ME...they thought it could be some
type of "flu" they even at one time called it the "yuppie flu" Here is a
link to a portion of the story
The clinic I think is Peterson-Whitman
or something like that.. it "was" the "Whittmore-Peterson" institute and
I know there were issues so now it is actually called http://nvcbr.org/ They have changed names and do research on neurological problems, which these illnesses/syndromes are all "inter-related"...
This was a very interesting story (true) in how all of the entire ordeal with ME/CFS/that I believe now is "rolled into "FM"... above... I didn't realize that the "Whittmore-Peterson" clinic is now the
but I do recall there being some controversy over the original physicians, and the clinic that became the above. So, here is the new to that clinic, and the story is really interesting. Anyone who is either diagnosed with FM/CFS/ME OR just wants to know more, should delve into the story... I really learned a great deal from the two original physicians, whose town "Lake Tahoe" "suddenly" without notice the almost entire town became "ill" with many symptoms and so forth, that caused them much distress and up until then nothing was known about it..... Until two doctors began seeing SO MANY otheriwse very healthy, young people become so suddenly and terribly ill... whittemore peterson institute chronic fatigue syndrome
