The co-founder of Petsmart has CFS
I go around assuming that successful people must be healthy people, then I’m proven wrong by this article: Chronic fatigue drug in trial stage. The article is primarily about Michael Manson, the co-founder of PetSmart, who’s suffered with CFS for almost 20 years, as has his business partner. Who knew?! Manson was part of the recent trial that tested Valcyte on CFS sufferers, and he feels just about cured. The whole thing is very exciting, and I’d love to get in on a trial in my area. I checked out the price of the Valcyte medication and six months worth would cost over $5000, so I’d be happy to exchange their meds for my voluntary guinea pig-ness.
About
A blog about my decade+ struggle with the medical community as I've sought treatment for fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's disease, and depression. I'm not really sure if I am truly "depressed", although being in pain every day is enough to make just about anyone pretty unhappy. The blog's title comes from the name of Paula Kamen's wonderful homage to chronically ill and tired women, All In My Head. My other weblog, about fun and fuzzy things, is located at The Blog Pound.
