Blaming REAL life Fibromyalgia on lack of love is taking my analysis too far although I asked for it when I used the title of this post.PharmaGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211557578124130640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-64996764417997223602011-06-01T12:31:27.760-04:002011-06-01T12:31:27.760-04:00Are you kidding me?

I agree with the first response I saw "Thanks, keep blaming men for everything". You cannot blame ALL men for what some do. I was married to a controlling and abusive man for years. But for the last 18 years, I have been married to the most amazing and loving man I have ever known, who is also my best friend. I also have severe Fibromyalgia. I guarantee it is not caused by a "lack of love". It is a real and very painful disease. Yes I know they call it a syndrome and not a disease because they say it doesn't progress. But many of us who have to deal with this know it does. The pain worsens, the stiffness worsens, all the accompanying symptoms worsen. Can it be controlled? For some yes. For others, no. I have taken EVERYTHING you can possibly imagine. After having it for 10 years, I have finally been prescribed a medication that does actually help me more than anything has before. My husband and family are very understanding and supportive and do all they can to help me. But still, I have Fibromyalgia, a very real and very painful condition, that is NOT CAUSED BY MEN!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-4368025722959636752010-01-21T10:01:57.597-05:002010-01-21T10:01:57.597-05:00It is not a strange suggestion that love heals - w...It is not a strange suggestion that love heals - we all know that feeling loved affects everything inside us, from the digestion out to the skin - nervous system especially. We all need some unconditional love, and not only for growing children. The problem is, how to get it without seeming weak and pathetic... and who gets it first is probably the single biggest cause of arguments in many households, if we only knew it..Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-36245589372960528632008-05-08T11:08:00.000-04:002008-05-08T11:08:00.000-04:00Ugh!

And, who in the world can get a good night's slumber from sleeping like "spoons in a drawer?" I suggest you interview some middle age women to see how they feel about the Ad, your Soprano-like comments, and what they enjoy in their lives. <BR/><BR/>BTW, didn't you learn anything from the '60's? you knowlingly dismiss women's complaints - fibermyalgia, RLS, or whatever, and suggest love is the cure. Unfortunately, as nice as love can be when the fit is right, it can't cure all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-60182536778149030902008-02-01T18:11:00.000-05:002008-02-01T18:11:00.000-05:00OMG!

Doesn't mean I support the drug, but you gotta give it to Pharma for trying to reach potential female customers, using that soft-spoken, concerned-sounding, woman. <BR/><BR/>I would also point out Pharma's use of reverse psychology when they list the "side effects." The woman uses the same soft-spoken voice to *slowly* list them off, instead of the usual too-fast-for-ears blurb that people can't even hear because of the background music. If people can hear the side effects and process them, they feel like Pharma has nothing to hide and are therefore trustworthy. Not my line of reasoning by any means, but to the average consumer who doesn't have time to learn the ends and outs about the drug, this kind of marketing will probably register "successfully."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550428.post-10478975665165603912008-01-28T02:42:00.000-05:002008-01-28T02:42:00.000-05:00Exactly!
