Dale, for me it's been very important to keep an open mind and not rule anything out, either causation or treatment for FM. Since the diagnoses, cause and cure are very much in dispute, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that different things may be triggers for different people, some may have borderline thyroid while others may have a seratonin imbalance or that a physical trauma triggers the FM. Even the "definitive" tender/trigger point touch test is in dispute with some doctors finding it invalid. I take everything I hear with a grain of salt,whether it's from the layman or the "experts". I think that people need to look at what triggers their flares and what helps them to control their symtoms, it seems to vary from person to person.

Web.med good fms information. 
I search everywhere to find out the most recent developments in fms and cfs. I am checking out every avenue I can find. I have looked at many boards also. I am very happy to finnally see doctors specialising in what we have. Not to easy to find but did as I said on that told good fms and cfs site posted below. Now that I finnally found a doctor that is board certified in fms and cfs as well as infectious disease.I feel more confident.
