The
Subgroups in Fibromyalgia symposium
was held in Portland, Oregon on September 26 and 27, 1999
at the Marriott City Center Hotel.
Fifteen researchers gathered to share their newest FM research
results.
On September 14 and 15,
1997, twenty-two researchers congregated in Portland, Oregon at
the Hilton Hotel for the New Dimensions

Many fibromyalgia patient

they shared the resulting information with their members. Other
