@A MyFibroTeam Member I think if I ever heard doctors say that about us, I’d friggin lose it on them!! They’d walk away with a whole different outlook on it! This is so unacceptable from people who are supposed to be professionals in our health care system!

I have often wondered if the medical community lends any credence to what is written in the support groups. Stands to reason that information coming from the people who actually have the condition would be pertinent to the conversation regarding funding for research, etc.

Sadly, I actually heard a couple of physicians say that it was a made up condition from a bunch of over dramatic women.

I have an appointment with a new doctor and I will ask him what his take on fibro is.

Agree. After seeing my doctor last week I felt like I was his study.

Nothing on the mass level of what’s needed. There is all of this free data out here for someone to take advantage of but it’s easier for doctors to say it’s all in our head rather than to start doing real research.
Somewhere you can find great current, logical information is from iDr. Bill Rawls at Rawlsmd.com
