If you go to

http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/

and enter your email subject (no quotes) in the Search pane you will get 
16 hits.

Alternatively see

Help > Documentation Center > FindFit > Applications > Differential 
Equations

These should give some indication of ways to do this type of fit.
