You would not like this doctor either. She told me that fibromyalgia is not a for real condition and that people are making it up to get drugs for it! Can you believe this?

Another moment that was for me as they had told my late mother she had fibromyalgia when in fact what she really had was ... MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (diagnosed w/this after years of pain and unnecessary surgeries in her mid-70's!!).

Was I shocked to find this out? You better believe I was shocked!
