The exosome finding is absolutely huge, and got me very excited. However, Anne Oaklander's presentation was the one that really threw my thinking up into the air.
I can remember from childhood tickling games that I had fibromyalgia tender points at least from the age of four, and possibly before that. Then, at menarche (very late at nearly 17 years old), the massive weight loss because I suddenly couldn't digest food. Then the fatigue and PEM.
I doubt I'd be able to get accurate skin biopsies done in the UK, but I ought to read more about her work. I've never even bothered pursuing a FM diagnosis, as it's always seemed like a secondary concern to the ME...if SFPN is potentially treatable, maybe I should!
