Fibromyalgia isn't a fake disease - my sister has it, she's a tough girl and has never been a complainer about anything in her life and now I see the pain and problems she has - when she first told me she had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia I researched it and felt the same way - just because medical science doesn't really have a good handle on certain things/diseases doesn't mean it doesn't exist. so at present it's one of those disorders that gets diagnosed by the symptoms the patient reports and physical examination - fibromyalgia is a group of symptoms that get labelled with the name. I'm sure like all diseases/disorders that can't be diagnosed definitively by a lab test or seen on an x-ray that the diagnosis is misplaced on many people.
