A very real imaginary problem of hypochondria and psychosomatic symptoms. Recent numbers show a diagnosis of 2 percent in the United States alone. Most cases being in North America with no real recognition in many other developed/non developed countries. Most people with fibromyalgia are women (about 80 - 90 percent.) There is no medical way to diagnose fibromyalgia, it is a relatively new diagnosis in the medical field and believed by most in the field psychosomatic.
Bolstering this view is the fact that patients with fibromyalgia often suffer from anxiety or depression. And some patients who suffer only from a psychiatric disorder may develop somatic symptoms that mimic fibromyalgia — yet the primary challenge is a mental health problem, and symptoms will abate only when it is addressed. For all these reasons, the best treatment involves a team approach that includes mental health clinicians. Lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders is even higher in those complaining of fibromyalgia.

There is a widespread skepticism in the medical practice of whether fibromyalgia should be deemed a manifested physical diagnosis.

Get the Fibonacci Time mug."Moral fiber's about finding that one thing you really care about. That one special thing that means more to you than anything else in the world. And when you find it, you fight for it. You risk it all, you put it in front of everything, your life, all of it. And maybe the stuff you do to help her isn't so clean. You know what? It doesn't matter. Because in your heart you know, that the juice is worth the squeeze. That's what moral fiber's all about."
