Hello!
I am definetly interested in participating and I most likely meet the
criteria! I'm 30, female and have severe intense chronic pain due to
severe Fibromyalgia and chronic myofascial pain. I was in a series of
3 traumatic accidents between 2000-2002 and after the 3rd accident,
began the onset of Fibro, because I was suddenly in the worst pain of
my entire life and could not do anyting, let alone crawl to the
bathroom. So it's going on 5 years now, I'm on long term disability
but I still try to make the best out of life, I run a support group
for people in the bay area who suffer from any kind of chronic pain
and I stay happy and healthy. But ultimately, I want to be treated and
get on with my life. Please tell me how I can apply for the study and
what is required of me. And I'm located in Alameda! Thank you!
