The history lies with ME a matter of fact. I was the 3 woman in the USA that was ever dignosed with FMD in 1977. My doctor at the time was Walter G. Kirkendahl, Internal Medicines, Professor of UTMB, Herman Hospital, Houston,Txas. He dies in the later part of the 1980 of heart failure. He wrote medical papers about me and speeches in different teaching hospitals in Boston, Mayo Clinic and I do not know all of them.
