Is Fibromyalgia a made up disease for depressed, bored women?

Asked by Aster (20023points) January 23rd, 2013

I have been reading the various feelings about Fibro. My daughter, a nurse, says the doctors she knows think Fibro is non-existent. Fake. Other doctors on the internet think it’s real. One symptom is called “tender points.” It’s very interesting and real. There are places on the body the size of a penny that, when pressed, produce pain. I noticed these about ten years ago, was curious about them but didn’t mind having them. They are in specific locations and they just don’t bother you unless someone pushes on them like with one finger. What are your feelings about Fibro? True or fake?
