Byzantine posted:Fibromyalgia is an actual thing, if that's what you mean. For a long time I was mixing up fibromyalgia and Morgellons disease, so I would have similar reactions to people going on about fibromyalgia. While Morgellons is basically delusional bullshit, fibromyalgia is apparently a legit autoimmune-ish disease, although the cause is apparently unknown and the treatment options are limited. Morgellons is hilariously crazy though: Wikipedia posted:Morgellons (also called Morgellons disease or Morgellons syndrome) is a condition whose sufferers have the delusional belief that they are infested with disease-causing agents described as things like insects, parasites, hairs or fibers, but in reality no such things are present.[1] For more information, check out coast to coast AM and delusional nutjobs across the internet.

Doesn't that count as a legit mental illness though? If you're convinced you are infested with insects/parasites/fibers? It sounds pretty disturbing for the patient if they genuinely believe it. Not like they are just making something up to pull bullshit on their friends/families.

It's impossible to accurately diagnose most of the time and 99% of people who claim it have no idea what it is, they just heard that friends of theirs with fatigue issues linked to something else have it. It's almost always concurrent with a very treatable issue like iron deficiency or untreated diabetes or prediabetes. It also doesn't help when people allege they have "Malignant Fibromyalgia" and/or treat it homeopathically because they blame their condition on common modern medications.

The fad of bacon might be partially the fault of media and I'm guessing that advertisers didn't shy away from fanning the flames, but it's a pretty big stretch to apply that to the average persons consumption of bacon.

It's quite nasty, and sufferers tend to not contact psychiatrists (because that would make them delusional), but rather exterminators and entomologists. There's no need for a bullshit new name or claiming it's a plague unleashed by the New World Order.

There's no need for a bullshit new name or claiming it's a plague unleashed by the New World Order. Morgellon's is for people with that who won't believe they're delusional. There's even support groups for it on the internet for people who just know that they're infested with awful parasites but that modern medicine won't help them get better. It's one of those mysterious illnesses that people sit around and diagnose each other with but warn that doctors are just in it for the money. It's like grotesquely obese people sitting around diagnosing each other with thyroid issues, basement dwelling neckbeards diagnosing each other with asperger's, and that sort of madness. Some of them likely legitimately have issues but will never seek treatment for real issues. Or completely unrelated things that are harming them. It's sad more than anything.

It's almost always concurrent with a very treatable issue like iron deficiency or untreated diabetes or prediabetes. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a rheumatologist. I also have migraines, IBS, and the other poo poo that goes with it, so I figure it's a legit diagnosis. It's a diagnosis of exclusion for the most part, from what I can tell, though research hs shown that people with fibromyalgia are basically probably just over-sensitive to like, everything. For example, I have photophobia, and if I don't moisturize my hands, the feeling of slight dryness drives me nuts. It sucks majorly to actually have, it's like having the flu all the time for the most part. People who are tired sometimes or some poo poo and self diagnose piss me off, because people already have trouble believing it's a real thing. This is the second time I've heard the phrase "malignant fibromyalgia" though. What the gently caress is that even supposed to mean? That it'll kill you somehow?

Yeah the problem here are self-diagnosers and I think fibro and ME suffer from a whole ton of them. It doesn't help they're also somewhat overdiagnosed by doctors who can't be arsed to figure out some patients' real issue. Self-diagnosers are everywhere online though - just look at Tumblr and all the people there who have lists of mental and physical illnesses as long as your arm. Has to be said I lost a friend because I told her she couldn't self-diagnose a brain tumor from having frequent tension headaches (she wouldn't go to the doctor because she didn't want "the bad news") and also she might want to get her self-diagnosis of bipolar confirmed since she didn't really show any signs of it (gently caress psychiatrists man, they don't know anything). She went off the deep end into woo-woo spiritual stuff shortly after we parted ways and self-diagnosed fibro as well.

And what the hell does 'speak when entering a room' have to do with manners? The "yes sir no sir" to all adult males was a thing when I was a kid although I think it died off in my area around the mid 90s or so. I also had an aunt who got really bent out of shape about people not saying anything when they walked into an occupied room, she thought it was incredibly rude and would bitch out kids' parents at Christmas for it. I don't know where she was from, she had an accent of some kind that I had a hard time understanding but my uncle divorced her when I was about 10. I have never met anyone who cared about it since so I'm guessing it's a regional thing wherever she was from.
