Do you mean that fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome doesn't exist? People
should just shape up and don't nag?!

Emne: diagnosis leading to illness
To all,
Recently, I have been thinking about the fact that diagnosis of many chronic
pain syndromes may actually worsen the illness that one is feeling. I have
personally experienced this in clinic on clients diagnosed with fibromyalgia
and chronic fatigue syndrome - it is very obvious that their pain and
disability levels increase with a simply "label."
I was wondering whether anybody know of any good studies that looks more at
this issue?? Should these terms, which are meaningless on their own, be
banned from the medical profession? What are your opinions?
