maybe 10% of them have a real problem that their lovely rear end doctor can't diagnose (like graves or the other disease mentioned above)

another 10% are probably drug seekers

the remaining 80% are whiny depressed lardos that haven't exercised in years and - surprise - now ache all over. Doctors came up with this diagnosis to shut them up without having to tell them "you are a lazy fatass" because apparently we can't just call a spade a spade anymore

I think the key distinction is whether a doctor told them the diagnosis was fibro or they told the doctor the diagnosis was fibro

The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.
Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis of exclusion. Your doctor has no clue what (if anything) is wrong with you, so they give you a fancy label to make you happy.
