If you have ancestors from the Appalachians, you might be Melungeon, (my favorite topic this year) and they have ailments that are Medeterranean usually -- like some sort of Medeterranian fever, usually found in people of Mideast descent. It is often mistaken for fibromyalgia. This is due to Medeterranean (sp?) ancestry, Turkish/Syrian/Puetoguese, Jewish etc. mg
