Fibromyalgia - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Fibromyalgia is a chronic or long-lasting condition. It causes muscle and joint pain all over your body. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it may be a problem with how your nerves and brain sense pain signals. People with fibromyalgia are much more sensitive to sensory experiences, such as pressure, heat or cold, bright lights, and noise, compared to people without fibromyalgia. Things that may increase your risk for it are a family history of fibromyalgia, physical or emotional trauma and stress, having certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, having anxiety and depression, being female, and being middle-aged or older. Common symptoms of fibromyalgia include body pain and tenderness, feeling very tired, problems sleeping, thinking and memory problems known as "fibro fog", and headaches. Other symptoms may include tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, mental health problems such as anxiety or depression, and digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Since there is no cure for fibromyalgia, treatment for it focuses on relieving your symptoms. Treatments may include medications, lifestyle changes, and psychotherapy or talk therapy. Medications your healthcare provider may prescribe to help reduce pain and improve sleep include antidepressants and anti-seizure medicines. You may also be advised to take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain relievers. But fibromyalgia doesn't cause inflammation, so they often aren't helpful for fibromyalgia pain. Certain lifestyle changes can help you manage fibromyalgia symptoms. These include getting enough sleep, regular exercise and staying active, and eating a healthy diet. The goal of "talk" therapy is to help you change the way you think or act. It can help you learn ways to cope with your symptoms and provide you with support. To find out more about fibromyalgia, talk to your healthcare provider.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"I thought you might want to know that after we sent a copy of your illustration to the defendants, with a copy to the insurance company, they increased their offer by an additional million dollars and the case was settled for $1,900,000.00.

I appreciate your help!"

"At 3 PM it hit me--I needed exhibits of a tracheostomy, a coronary artery bypass and a deep vein thrombosis--all in time for a for-trial video deposition the next day. The Doe Report had each exhibit on line. In addition, I ran across an exhibit I hadn't even thought of: reduced ejection fraction after a heart attack. Because this was a video deposition, I could use the e-mail version of the medical exhibit, print it on my color copier, and let the camera zoom in. For $400, less than one blow-up by one of The Doe Report's competitors, I got four first-rate exhibits in less than a day. The Doe Report saved me time and money."

"I would like to thank all of you at Medical Legal Art for all the assistance you provided. It was a result of the excellent, timely work that we were able to conclude the case successfully.

I feel very confident that our paths will cross again."

"Thank you for the splendid medical-legal art work you did for us in the case of a young girl who was blinded by a bb pellet. As a result of your graphic illustrations of this tragic injury, we were able to persuade the insurance company to increase their initial offer of $75,000.00 to $475,000.00, just short of their policy limits.

We simply wanted you to know how pleased we were with your work which, to repeat, was of superlative character, and to let you know that we would be more than willing to serve as a reference in case you ever need one. Many thanks for an extraordinary and dramatic depiction of a very serious injury which clearly "catapulted" the insurance company's offer to a "full and fair" amount to settle this case."
