I am one of those "flaky women" who have fibromyalgia and let me tell you it is a real condition. The pain is real, very real.
It just happens that I have found the means to mostly live without the pain of it and I'm running around like a young chick.
Your words and attitude are very vulgar and insulting. You sound almost like a scientologist, eg. Tom Cruise.
Pray to God that you never have anything as painful as fibromyalgia and that you never have someone saying that your pain is all in your head.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to insult you, because I am certain there are some cases that are real and they are obviously genuinely painful.
But when I lived in California, fibromyalgia was a virtual epidemic among leftist women who wanted attention (who also usually considered themselves chemically sensitive, allergic to deodorants, etc.). My observation in California was that it was mostly a name doctors used for non-specific aches and pains that didn’t relate to any physical ailment. BTW, that doesn’t mean they can’t be quite severe, of course, regardless of their cause.
So my apologies to you and all people who really have this disease. I would still suspect that the Muslim convert who caused all of this trouble was one of the California-hippie types, though; she sounds like she has gone through life trying to get attention and trying to appear a victim.
What do you do for the fibromyalgia?
My heartfelt advice to you Freedom is to not take an insult where none was intended towards you. I believe the poster was just expressing his opinion in general towards malingerers he has observed that claim to have fibromylagia. Not you personally.
