If you think that you have heard about every remedy under the sun to relieve fibromyalgia pain, hold on to your seat. Here is a most unexpected one. A recent study that was reported in the April issue of “The Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine” (Kiyak, 2009) found that wool is effective in reducing the symptoms of patients suffering with the chronic pain of fibromyalgia.
How did they figure this out? The study consisted of 50 patients with fibromyalgia that had the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology. Half o these individuals comprised the control group and the other half were treated with woolen underwear (covering the body from shoulders to thighs) and woolen bedding (bed liners, quilt and pillow). In six weeks, the wool treatment group (who were assessed pre and post treatment) showed significant improvement in all the tender points.
My suggestion: crank up the air conditioner and stack on the wool. Who knows? This may provide some relief to you. God Bless!

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you from the Pacific Northwest Foundation about a case study that may be of interest to your research into fibromyalgia. While this was not a study undertaken by the Foundation, it was a case with which we have had access to in virtually every detail. This includes the chart notes (with the patient's approval) as well as the observations and insights of the patient's health care provider.
The case involves an adult female who had been disabled for eight years with diagnosed fibromyalgia. Within four months of treatment, she was able to backpack, regularly work a full day and have little or no pain.
As with all our studies, it is our hope to stimulate additional efforts to determine if these results were an aberration or have wider implications. To this end, we wanted to make you aware of the cast study (which can be found online at http://pnf.org/html/fibromyalgia.html), in the hope that it might prove useful as a starting point for research within your organization.
Thanks and kind regards,
Frank Cook
Pacific Northwest Foundation
