Just a brief history: My mom has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. She said that they gave a test to determine if she had it. I have been doing some reading on the condition because I suffer from some of the symptoms. I can't see very well to drive at night due to the bright car headlights, whenever my cat walks across my legs or body it just kills me with pain, my husband will be playing around with me jokingly and grab my arm. It hurts for a long time after that, even though I know he didn't grab me hard.
Is fibromyalgia hereditary?
Why do some doctors discount this as a psychological disorder?
I read today, although I can't find it now, that they found that women who were sexually abused as children have a higher chance of having fibromyalgia, which to them supports the theory of it being psychological.
Just wondering?
