I belong to a chiropractic 'Fibromyalgia Centers of America' group. Sometimes we dread the fibromyalgia patient. In our clinic I never adjust on the first visit; during a test adjustment visit I never expect results - it's my time to get acquainted with their body.

One research finding about fibromyalgia patients is that they have 'awake-like' brain activity when sleeping and decreased REM cycles. On no less than three occasions last week, patients returning for their final report said, "This is the first time I have slept through the night in over ten years," some said 15 or 20 years.

On a conference call I told other fibromyalgia clinics what happened and everyone went silent. Last night I did a workshop on fibromyalgia for 21 highly educated attendees; the planned one-hour talk lasted two hours because of the KST questions.
