It seems that when doctors cannot seem to get a direct diagnosis,
they pass the ball to Fibromyalgia. Some docs (esp neuros) don't seem to think that there is such a condition as Fibromyalgia. They think that it's just a 'dumping ground' for a bunch of undiagnosed related conditions.
It is the newer term, rather than say it is 'idiopathic' they can finally have a condition as a cause.
But the 'jury is still out' for some.
I grew old thinking fibromyalgia was a psychological condition, however, I dont feel my "psychological" problems are from anything other than the pain, etc. My neuro talked to me long and hard and assured me this condition was real. Too bad it isnt as obvious as a broken leg...then maybe "people" would understand both PN and fibromyalgia.
