Followers I made it to Las Vegas yesterday. Today is the first day of PainWeek 2013 and Fibromyalgia is the first Master Course offered. There will also be a course on Obesity-related pain. It's 6:30 am and it's already 82 degrees out.

FibroDiva Pre Op September 4, 201312 yr Author stats My first solo trip sense surgery is going well. The only bump was TSA, who was so flustered by all my liquid meds, metal braces, cpap machine, & big A*& scooter that they let me through security with glasses on my & around my neck, & with a belt on.
FibroDiva Pre Op September 4, 201312 yr Author stats I attended the Master Course on Fibro. Will talk more about it later, but for now, all I have to say is the organizers of PainWeek 2013 grossly under estimated the interest and need for updated health care provider education on this painful condition. There was standing room only for the first 15 minutes. Even though the instructor kept begging for more chairs, there was no s[ace in the tiny, dismissal room. Attendees were packed 2 deep along the walls and 4-5 deep out the door. Finally someone from the Cosmopolitan but us in a much bigger room.
FibroDiva Pre Op September 5, 201312 yr Author stats Strange thing, I'm zipping down the Vegas strip on my scooter taking in all the sites and guys are yelling, "slow down sweetie". Isn't it too early for the stumbling drunks to be tripping in front of my way?
