My PA (physician’s assistant) that I loved my whole adult life either didn’t know, or care to tell me, what fibromyalgia was. Some doctors don’t believe in it because there’s no test to prove it. I never wanted pain meds, I wanted a diagnosis - a reason this was happening to me. When given my list of matching symptoms he told me he “had another anxious patient like this” and it was certainly “in your head, I’m sure the symptoms feel very real, but the stress is creating them.” I saw the MD he works under. Instantly told me to see a rheumatologist because he suspected fibromyalgia. It was not, in fact, in my head. I love seeing him instead now. I will never stop being disappointed by that day.
