SSD and Fibromyalgia |
|
Fibromyalgia is often misdiagnosed because so many of the symptoms of FMS appear in a wide variety of other illnesses (such as depression, cfids, and arthritis).
However, there are other reasons that account for why fibromyalgia is misdiagnosed. For one thing, fibromyalgia is not accepted as a legitimate and distinct disorder by all practicing physicians. Also, FMS is considered by some to be a condition peculiar to women, perhaps based on the fact that fibromyalgia is overwhelmingly diagnosed in women versus men and also the fact that FMS symptoms are substantially more severe in post-menopausal women versus pre-menopausal women. Additionally, fibromyalgia is often confused with depression and this problem is compounded by the fact that many mental health professionals will render a diagnosis of fibromyalgia when they are, in fact, not qualified to evaluate this musculoskeletal disorder. |
