" I just found out about this today while i was looking on yahoo. I looked into an article that happened to mention it. I was wondering, if anyone knows about this illness...does it affect your genetics if your parent has fibromyalgia? Are there any cases of FOP linked from fibromyalgia?
I'm really curious to know...since I suffer from FMS and want to learn about things that may happen when I give birth to a child. "
