Drug Approved but is Fibromyalgia real?

sorry red but i have to call you out on this. take the title out of it for a sec. imagine every time you sit down or lay in bed you feel like worms are in your skin in your legs? don't knock something you don't know about or have never experienced. i have never experienced that kind of thing but i sure would hate too.

trust me, i was the guy saying people with depression are a bunch of fakers and pussys. than all that shit happened in my life. until you walk in someone shoes you really shouldn't call bullshit on anything.

Absolutely. It isn't BS, it's a neurological condition. It can even be caused by spinal injuries. I've known people with it, BB's at that, and it's definitely not from sitting on your ass.

I know your not knocking my mom or anyting like that. I know my mother isn't depressed because she knows she isn't depressed. She isn't sad, she isn't moody, she isn't down, she doesn't walk around w/a negative attitude or saying "woe is me." She is very upbeat despite her condition. I know what depression is...I've dealt with it for many years and she was right beside me for many of them. We're kind of experts on the subject, lol (not really...).

do you remember when it started? like did it just happen all of the sudden or was it slow? seems like there has to be something that causes it ya know? environmental factors, genetics etc..

That bad part about 'conditions' like the aforementioned and their 'miracle drugs' is that so many dr's instantly say "yep, that's what you have...here are some meds." When in fact their condition may be from being lazy, overweight, depressed...etc. The line is so blurred.

This was more of what I was saying- Bouncer & FB....Instead of actually treating an ailment or whatever, doctors are so eager to just throw meds at the problem and move on. They don't take the time to find out if that's really the problem or what. Many things could be cured if doctors would just take the time.

I could go off on this whole rant about how the pharmaceutical companies are neck deep in doctor's pockets and how the bombard the public with drugs for their ailments that they really may not have
