Nothing that can't be cured by keto and cross fit.

Did I mention I do keto and cross fit?

bullshite diagnosis.

There's a reason why one of the main ingredients in the medication used to "treat" it is an anti-depressant.

That thing that didn't exist until a decade ago and is experienced exclusively by shitty and lazy people?

Yeah, that's definitely real.

If it weren't for lawyers trying to sue people over it, I would have never heard of it.

I'm not going to sit here and say that pain other people are saying they feel isn't real.

That being said, everyone that I have ever met that claims they have it are inactive/middle aged or older/ and have terrible diets.

I'll add to that many of them had some sort of chemical dependency to prescription pain meds. I often wondered if the fibro symptoms patients experienced was nothing more than the body going through withdrawal

Humira is supposed to do wonders for this "disease"

Ask yourself, 'why do only women get it?', and you will have your answer.

AKA Whiny Bitch Syndrome

They bill it as hyperactive nerves and, yet, it's treated with anti-depressants.

Hmm...

I'm not beyond accepting that there could be rare pain disorders, but for the most part I think it's a psychosomatic type "illness".

I knew a 50 yo man who claimed he had it. His daughter was diagnosed with it at age 25 as well

The father was a functional alcoholic and on antidepression meds...he eventually killed himself

the daughter is bat shite crazy and doesn't know her body is chemically dependent on the prescription pain meds. She rejects the assertion her body is "addicted" bc she believes she's a devout Christian and "Not a drug addict".

You don't know the pain folks with fibro go through. It's literally impossible to get out of bed each morning, then I have to walk my rescue pitties around the block and get Jayden and Nevaeah to school. I can't hold a job or keep the house clean because I have to save all my energy for when my kiddos get home. Walk a mile in my shoes before you judge.

Thats what I thought, until some middle aged gals that are healthy started rambling on about their Fibro. I told them Fibro is fake and they're just getting older and tired. They did not like my response to them...

However, like I said these gals are healthy, eat right, exercise, work full time very respectable careers. It caught me off guard they would pull the Fibro card.
