broadview mayor katrina thompson blames today’s brutality on “out-of-town protesters” who’ve “chosen their fists” over their voices.

Wow - my gf suffers from fibro, which has caused her to go on disability and she’s unable to work. Fascinating and hopeful research!
HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
