Statistics on Lupus Introduction “You have lupus.” After months or years of pain, unable to get out of bed, unable to think straight, hearing a diagnosis like this may relieve you or make you lose hope.

In the article entitled "Fibromyalgia: Harmonizing Science With Clinical Practice Considerations", Perrot mentions that the definition of FM has had a significant change over time. At first people thought that it had to do with the muscles, then it turned into a psychological disorder, by the end of the 20th century it became aware to scientists that this thing they called Fibromyalgia was a serious issue that has plagued so many patients.

Congestive Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a serious progressive disease. Heart failure (HF) remains a major and growing societal problem despite advances in detection and therapy.
