Muscular Diseases

We are beginning our muscular unit. There are two disorders that seem to have received a lot of attention over the last few years. Let's learn more about them including general information, but most importantly: prevention & treatment.
1) Chronic fatigue syndrome
2) Fibromyalgia

Create a notebook page for these two disorders like you did for skeletal diseases. When you are through, choose the most significant thing that you learned or already new. Create a post about it. Make it thorough or thought provoking enough for someone to be able to make a good reply to it. You are required to
5 pts (A) make at least one original post that would cause others to spark/reply back to it
5 pts (B) reply to at least one other person's post by asking them a question, making a connection to what they posted, etc.
10 pts (C) create a notebook page with general info on one side; treatments & prevention on the other side

*Additional points may be given for additional replies that are thought provoking, include great connections, etc.
