a fibromyalgia diagnosis means that you have pain and other symptoms and the doctors have no idea why. It's an "other box" for symptoms not easily diagnosed. researching it is pointless, they are not going to find a common cause or cure. who really thinks that every pain not easily diagnosed by modern medicine is caused by the same or similar things? It's cruel to tell these people they have a lifelong condition when WE DONT KNOW.

there are no studies with more than 200 people that show any physical difference between people with fibromyalgia and the general population. It's basically the new low back pain.
