Ottawan eyes start of support group
Ottawa woman Charlotte Sanderson seeks to form a local fibromyalgia support group after diagnosis in August at Humana Hospital Overland Park. She notes pain fatigue and stiffness, hopes doctors and therapists speak on treatment, coping, and awareness, while stressing the number of Americans affected and possible genetic links. An injury from a 15 year old car accident may have contributed to her illness. An exercise program helps her cope with the pain though no cure exists.
