Fibromyalgia - Fibromyalgia, Catch-All Diagnosis?

Saturday, July 7, 2007 - Fibromyalgia, Catch-All Diagnosis?

I have recently heard that instead of ignoring fibromyalgia as a real syndrome, some physicians
are now diagnosing fibromyalgia when they don't
know what is causing a person's symptoms. If the
persons thus diagnosed really have another syndrome or illness, it may not be caught. This
could lead to further problems or deteriorating
symptoms since they are not treated for their true illness.

Do you know of anyone who has been diagnosed
with fibromyalgia, only to later discover they had a different illness?
