The Struggle is Real. Fibromyalgia Is a Very Real Disease
The myth: "Fibromyalgia is all in your head."
Still, some people believe that fibromyalgia is not a real condition and that patients are exaggerating what is going on. Some doctors even dismiss the symptoms as something else. The answer is unclear, but there is no accepted test for fibromyalgia, so the myth is, fibromyalgia is all in your head.
Dr. Clauw states that although there are no tests for fibromyalgia in routine medical practices, there are many object abnormalities that can be studied and identified in the diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
