Megan & DejaVu,

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

Any malaise that is diagnosed entirely on subjective analysis
and not on laboratory test results is subject to misuse.
There can be no denial that some docs use these maladies/diseases as a grab-bag and alternative to 'idiopathic' to dismiss patients they do not wish to take the time to properly diagnose.
It gives the patient something other than 'no cause found'.
My opinion is based on this occurring too frequently in the USA,
from reports/posts that I have read over the years, as well as drug co.'s pushing the meds and causing hypochondriac attitudes in the suffering public)
Again, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.
