I'm so mad I could spit. Has everyone seen thE article from saying Fibro is not real but it's all in our heads? Mental disorder?

:di zzy:

It also says that Doctors don't like to diagnose people because they will just worry about it. I Have severe panic attacks I worry ALOT about everything diseases etc. So when I went and mentioned Fibro she blamed it on my weight when I went back this year I saw it was in the computer I'm saying why did she put Fibro in the computer? When I Went back I showed her a website with all the symptoms and told her I really think I have this she did a tender point test and I was diagnosed. So it was like She couldn't hide it from me. She knew I was reading sites anyways.

I totally disagree with this article FIBRO IS REAL IT'S NOT IN MY HEAD OR A MENTAL DISORDER. I have pain everyday in the pain is real.

Fibro fog this morning I wake up and Can't even remember going to sleep last night or if It was afternoon and took a nap. It took me a while to realize it was morning. I feel like I have alzheimer's. 16 thousand people voted that it's real.

hi bunny,
haven't seen it and am not the least bit surprised. take a chill pill girlfriend and perhaps fire your doctor and find another. back when i was diagnosed mental therapy was suggested. i knew it was a help aid to adapting not a cure. each to their own opinion, i say. i just fire the ones who don't have open minds.
we know it is real. we live it. science only thinks about it. they don't live it. science changes its mind like i change panties.
i refuse to let them anger me. lest we forget fibro loves to eat anger and what does it spit out? yea, pain. big pain. no ones opinion is worth that to me. i have a good team of doctors and their support staff. i hand picked them. well worth the initial stress of finding them.
so, to the writer i would say, you are entitled to your opinion so long as you and i realize it is only that, an opinion. and i am entitled to mine.
peace my friend,
peace,
blue

Yep...I saw it on line......and NO IT IS NOT IN OUR HEAD !! I hurt, my body hurts. My muscles twitch, sometimes its hard just to get up the stairs, IM TIRED !!

I am sure who ever had anything to do with this article obviously does not have Fibro, and if they dsid have Fibro there views would be MUCH DIFFERENT.

What a laughable article that was. People who write articles like that do no good to what is already a very difficult syndrome to live with.

That was a little harsh bluelakelady! I'm a bit new to this entire Fibro thing and I'm in pain EVERYDAY and when I read something like that. i got a little upset. And my doctor dismissed it the first time I had mentioned it. But when i went back to see her Fibro was in the computer so IMO she learned something since the time I last saw her. She already diagnosed me.
