Thank you for sharing all of these points - In 2025 we still shouldn’t be debating whether fibromyalgia is real or not.

Thank you, Sheila! I felt that in my bones (and tendons… and nerves… you get it 😅). It really is wild that in 2025, we’re still having to defend the reality of fibromyalgia like it’s some kind of conspiracy theory instead of, you know, a medically recognized condition. Some things just need to be said loudly, clearly, and maybe with a little eye roll for flavor. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, it means a lot. Myth-busting feels a lot less lonely when voices like yours show up in the fog with flashlights. 💜

You're welcome - I agree and I was diagnosed by the Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 2006 and I still have doctors who will not recognize that fact.
