A Letter from Patrick B. Wood, MD
Patrick Wood M.D. It is exciting for me to be a part of the Angler Biomedical project. Having recently completed a year-long brain imaging study in Montreal, Canada, at McGill University's Centre for Research on Pain, I can say with little hesitation that we are indeed standing on the very threshold of truly understanding the underlying pathology of this mysterious disorder known as "fibromyalgia". While the research reports are being written, I am not yet at liberty to discuss the specifics of that project. What I can tell you is that the fibromyalgia brain functions, at a fundamental level, in a way that is very different from the brains of individuals who do not have the condition. In fact, the brain of someone with fibromyalgia functions in a fashion that makes sense of the bewildering symptoms that make up the disorder -- especially the pain.

It is then my sincere hope that those of you reading these words will seriously consider watching Angler's video Fibromyalgia: Show Me Where it Hurts. As medical consultant to the project, I can assure you that by watching this material, you will gain tremendous insights into some of the most cutting- edge research and see for yourself the direction in which fibromyalgia as a medical entity is headed. And stay tuned -- there is plenty more coming in the very near future! -PBW
