But doesn't it sound as though the events that Dr. Sean Mackey says precede an attack of fibro are very similar to the psychological "triggers" Dr. Sarno says can initiate TMS? An accident, a car wreck, a virus, psychological stressors etc etc etc. One thing they all have in common is that they not only affect you physically, but also stress you out psychologically:



And yet Dr. Mackey also insists that though we haven't discovered the exact drugs it will take to eradicate fibro, he's sure we will. Excuse me, but prescribing drugs to medicate a stress-caused condition seems to create more problems than it cures. Witness Prozac and Ritalin. That quixotic quest of his for a fibro gene passed on from generation to generation seems to be barking up the wrong tree too. Exactly when did fibro first emerge as a bona fide condition or disease? If it was hereditary, you'd think there would be records going back centuries describing fibro-like symptoms. Does anyone know when fibro first emerged in the medical literature? I may be wrong, but I'd guess it appeared within the last 50 years or so.
