Fibromyalgia plot bunny

[4thejourney.livejournal.com]

I've been having this urge now for a while to read a fic where Sam suffers from fibromyalgia (I know it's more common in women but it can also affect men), so I decided to try posting this here.   I would like it to be gen.   Comforting and helpful big brother Dean who maybe has to remind Sam to take care of himself sometimes is also awesome.  That's it, I'm not too particular in details other than those (it could be cool if John was in the story as well but that isn't a must).  Any takers? I'd be ever so grateful. :-D

Edit:     I decided to add this comment for a little more info, as I'd actually thought of this possibility but failed to mention it in my post: "Fibromyalgia affects different people to varying degrees, but I don't think Sam could deal with a lot of the aspects of hunting, all the extreme physical aspects of it.
I can't see John handling the news well, if they finally got a correct diagnosis, or Dean, actually, because I'd think it would really get in the way of hunting. Still, it would be a good subject for someone to tackle, rather than the more common hurt/comfort scenarios."

I like your ideas, too! I might have to end up writing this myself, though it will no doubt be done in fits and starts. I really wish real life didn't cut into my fannish life so much, you know? So very annoying!

Just did a little quick research, 'cause I have a lot of books on the subject, and apparently yes, even elementary school-age children do get fibromyalgia. But I'll bet it's the kind of thing John wouldn't both to take Sam to a doctor about, considering it seems like they have to have major, visible trauma in order before going to the hospital. So...interesting ideas swimming around in my brain now.

Oh I would love it if this got written, even if it was in fits and starts. :-) I know, I've been actually TRYING to get a fic written for a long time, but I just keep running out of time!
