UPDATE: I'm now able to manage my condition with medication.

FMS is definitely a real disease (or possibly a group of closely related diseases) & not remotely "dubious" at all.

Since doctors have found it difficult to diagnose in the past, patients have often been given the label of hypochondriac or malingerer only contributing to their suffering.

There is currently very strong scientific evidence that Fibromyalgia is caused by Neurological / Neuroendocrinal Dysfunctions that are likely genetic in origin.

Maybe your poor, pathetic medical expert needs to brush up on his facts before regurgitating the same old inaccurate crap.
