I'm reading more about fibromyalgia now. Is it becoming a "real" disease finally?

Fibromyalgia is a disease that is difficult to understand. Because there is no definite test for the illness, it may be hard for a doctor to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms. Unfortunately, for those with fibromyalgia, there also aren't a specific set of symptoms that they can list and say "it's fibromylagia." That being said, fibromyalgia is being recognized more often now and is receiving attention in the research community.
