<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just wanted to thank everyone who wrote me about my mom's problem of her bones hurting . the responses narrowed down suggest fibromyalgia or osteperosis, or osteomalacia. she was tested for osteoperosis - negative. while she waits for her "specialist" appointment, she's going to undergo massage therapy and follow an exercise routine. It made so much sense when i read your responses and was able to check the medical encyclopedia - matched symptoms and ta da!! feel better knowing that it may be something common to many and able to treat somewhat simply.(though nothing is simple,is it) Thanks again!! your support is appreciated!! sincerely, nadia
