Hi from near Tel Aviv

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Hello there--what does Fibrogirl mean? Welcome to the forum.  ;D

fibrogirl:
I have fibromyalgia. This is an illness with widespread muscle pain with no known cause and no good treatment. I used the name fibrogirl on a fibromyalgia forum and decided to use it here, because it is easy to remember. I should have thought up something else perhaps.

I would like to say I came to live in Israel due to Zionism, but really it was due to ill health. I had a number of health problems, fibromyalgia being among them. The medical care in Britain was bad and could have killed me. So my parents took me to Israel and I realised that the Israeli health care system was better for people with chronic conditions, like myself, so I stayed. The medical care here is far superior to the British system. It's not perfect, but it is much better.

Hajduk:
From my experience the health care in Israel is very good at some very specific things, and pretty bad at the rest.
Never had any experience with the health care in other countries, though.
