Information About Our Guests
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is widespread pain that doesn’t show up on any test, so sufferers are often told their pain is all in their heads. An expert physician and a longtime sufferer describe the syndrome and the steps that can lead to diagnosis and successful relief.

Emergency responder stress
Police officers, firefighters, paramedics and emergency dispatchers experience events that most people couldn’t stand, and they pay for it with high levels of stress-related outcomes and PTSD. Experts describe the relative lack of training received by first responders, the type of training the need, and the police/fire culture that makes it difficult to get help.
