There is continuous pain and the patient develops certain tender points on the body, which become excessively sensitive to touch and pressure. The presence of different symptoms in the disease is real and medical. The patient is surely not a hypochondriac in the FMS disorder. Earlier the disease was considered as purely psychological and emotional and related to only women but now it is not so and even men can be diagnosed with the FMS disorder. Disease: People also think that the disease is life threatening and cause loss of life to the sufferer, but the fact is that the disease is not at all fatal. Patients who have chronic conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and migraines are more likely to have fibromyalgia. But it has not been confirmed that the disease can kill the patient. There is one more myths about the FMS condition which states that the disease is quite new and is hardly seen around, but the fact is that the disorder had been there but it was known by different names because of the symptoms it showed. The misconception was cleared in 1980 by giving it a different name that summed up the condition of the disease. There is the misconception that the FMS attacks only women and not men, this is partially true but men and women are at the equal risk of getting the disorder; it is only that women are more prone to the disease than men. |
