Fibromyalgia is definitely not a new illness, and doctors have been aware of this condition for centuries. In 1843, a physician named Robert Froricep described a condition he observed in his patients as “rheumatism with painful hard places.” In the early 1900s, Sir William Gowers observed symptoms in his painful muscular symptoms in his patients, and called this disease fibrositis.

"Hey! I wrote something great! Why didn’t she reblog it!?" Fear not! The queue is long and covers many subjects. If you want to make 100% sure it gets reblogged, send it in as an ask or a submission. Those get published right away. I try to reblog as much as I can but there are a lot of blogs, a lot of subjects, and I can’t be on tumblr everyday so I try to build up a large queue when I have an hour or so to sit down while I’m watching a movie or something. Don’t feel shy about sending stuff in. Nothing is stupid. Unless it’s outright rude nothing is unpublished.
