Am I the only one who is dead tired of hearing people get diagnosed with "Fibromyalgia" because they have a lazy Dr who just wants a scapegoat to get the patient to shut up? Not saying anything against people who actually have it, but as someone with EDS, even with a concrete diagnosis, I constantly hear, "well, you probably just have fibromyalgia" from outlier providers. I have a bunch of friends with other issues (mostly women) who were given Fibromyalgia diagnoses after 'annoying' their provider with symptoms and repeat appointments...it is frustrating to see physicians who would rather use an actual illness as a scapegoat when they 1 dont want to believe their patients stories and 2 just want to shut them up...Grrr!
