I come across 2 women the other day and domestic violence was brought up between conversation before they broke out into tears. Helpless as I can say and I think I can do more for them. SAFE questionnaire and Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) can be used to access the situation.

Common stuffs in FM:
1) Post-nasal drip
Post-nasal drip is mucus accumulation in the back of the nose and throat leading to, or giving the sensation of, mucus dripping downward from the back of the nose. One of the most common characteristics of chronic rhinitis is post-nasal drip. Post-nasal drip may lead to chronic sore throat or chronic cough. Post-nasal drip can be caused by excessive or thick secretions, or impairment in the normal clearance of mucus from the nose and throat.
2) Skin Problems
Scabies and tinea. http://www.medicinenet.com/ringworm_pictures_slideshow/article.htm A good website with slideshow showing you a list of tinea problems. One thing good to know is that it is NOT a problem with WORM, but it's a fungus problem. The word that comes after tinea dictates which part of the body it is occuring. I think you know it already. Scabies, big thing. 5% permethrin preparation should do it.

3) Osteoporosis

Theory-wise, it's linked but there are still a long way down the road to proof the connection.
