Hm. Welp, this is a free talk for anyone who wants to come. Zero forcing of anyone to do anything. None of my patients will be in attendance. And I don't wear a white coat. And this has nothing to do with opioids. Sounds like you are suffering and I hope you get well soon.

Hi! I appreciate the passion but that's not what the studies show AT ALL. They simply show a correlation between poor sleep & fibro, which is well established. There is nothing in these papers to suggest that SDB *causes* fibro nor that treating SDB is the cure. Sleep is only part of the problem 🙏🏼

Where do these "big three" symptoms come from, are they in the DSM, from research, or is this your observation from clinical work? It tracks for me as a clinician, but I've never heard this before...!

Perhaps. But the points made in this book are a bit different. The author, one of the authors of the DSM, describes how we've expanded the definition of "depression" so significantly that it now encompasses NORMAL human experiences of sadness. We are literally medicating normal all the time now.
