Make fibromyalgia recognized across the board

Created by B.J. on December 17, 2012

I have fibromyalgia and I am tired of some doctors believing it is an illness and others don't. I am tired of the discrimination. Fibromyalgia is real and needs to be made an official mandatory diagnosis like cancers rather than based off if a doctors personal opinion. I am also tired of being disseminated on treatments. We shouldn't be forced to try every kind of medication because what works has addictive properties. Narcotics work for my fibromyalgia however because of people abusing them I am forced to suffer in pain. This needs to be stopped as well. Doctors should be allowed to prescribe and monitor narcotic use in fibromyalgia patients. Social security should also not be allowed to deny benefits when a person had fibromyalgia.
