I don’t know about this one. I know that there are skeptics, people who feel that fibromyalgia isn’t a real disease. But, this blog post over at Natural News has me a bit stunned: Drug Companies Push New Medications for Fibromyalgia Via Disease Mongering Campaigns.
What do you think?

Ugh, what a horrible article. That’s not the first one of its kind, either.
Karen Lee Richards over at HealthCentral’s ChronicPainConnection.com wrote an excellent response to articles of this type:

I don’t have FMS myself, but as it’s often comorbid with Migraine disease, I know many who do.
Be well,
