Sister claims/claimed she had/has it.

Friends of mine who are Doctors have said there is no physical proof of the "Disease' and is a great Pharmy disease.

Even if you look at Mayo clinc who says "They believe it is......"

Off the record, a doctor friend says to me. You never see a hot chick in great shape with this "disease" that makes her tired and always fatigued with weight gain always whining "Everything hurts and I have no energy to work out...can you get me a gatorade and some chips"

Do any of you guys around here suffer from it?

How can you really tell if someone has this or is just using that as an excuse?

Brother-n-law (the asshat who thinks he can make a living selling baseball cards from his basement) says he now has this. As far as I know the dude has never been to an actual doctor for anything in the 10 years I have known him. Just seems like an easy go to "problem" so as to keep up the lies in his life.

Buddy of mine is married to a lady that says she has this. He confided in me the other day that he thinks she is faking it. They could really use her working to help make ends meet, but she says she cannot work because of this problem and he just does not understand the pain she is in.

While I am sure there are many who legitimately have this condition, it seems there are some taking advantage of a problem that seems really hard to diagnose and see evidence of.

so its like saying cellulite is a disease. no bitch youre just fat and lazy go do something

Anyone can "Officially Diagnosis" it, but that doesnt make it real.

I am sure there are some people that have a chronic situation where the ends of their nerves are so sensitive that every does hurt when anyone touches them and those people are in hospitals, not in basements selling baseball cards

Go to the Dr. there are inventories and whatnot that they can do to make the official diagnosis. Does she suffer from MDD symptoms? It could be depression related or somatic. It's tricky and no Dr's I know like to treat it or even see fibro patients and some Dr's think it's a bullshit wastebasket disease state.

Or she could be faking it.

Actually no, not "anyone" can officially diagnosis it, that takes an actual MD to do. Fibro has been batted around for 30 years or so, it isn't something that just popped up.

She has exercised her way out of it for the most part, with some chemical help.

BINGO! I wont argue it is a condition, but cant argue with the Doc I know that say it is mostly bullshit

I got the jimmy legs

Yeah I agree as well. Mostly bullshit.

My Brother-n-Law has no issues if he has tickets to a sporting event, then he is completely fine. But if he needs to help out with his kid or actually have some responsibility then he suddenly cannot get out of bed.

You know the medicine they used to prescribe for the jimmy leg had compulsive gambling as a potential side effect?

Im sure you could argue with Dr's that say it isn't bullshit, right?

Looks like someone's been influenced by the Big Fibro industry.

Now I have to lay down because I have pain that hurts all over.

You probably do too, should get some pills to clear it up.
