The Struggle is Real. Fibromyalgia Is a Very Real Disease
A changing attitude
If your friends and family dismiss your chronic pain and fibromyalgia symptoms, one reason is that the condition, for years, had no definite name and no one had any experience with it. It seems as if some medical professionals and many people need something to have a name before they believe it is real. Now, this attitude is changing with new realizations that fibromyalgia is tangible.
