Myths about Fibromyalgia

Hi,

I am a 27 yr old male who has been diagnosed several times with fibromyalgia. In fact, I have visited all the most prominent doctors in my area to address this. This condition is often called a "Great Imitator" due to the ambiguity of the symptoms. I have pretty much all of the symptoms most of the time, but that really isn't where I am lost. I wanted to ask for advice from the medical community to press for more information. What I mean about this is that some physicians have differing opinions on the nature of the disease. It makes it really hard to figure out who is telling the truth or just another carefully confabulated lie. The biggest one i have heard is that this condition is psychosomatic, but the range and breadth of different theories is vast. Another theory is that after surgical procedures, the body can develop a disorder of the nerves from the insult caused by the procedure. I didn't have this condition before I had brain surgery at the age of 17. It seems to suggest a relationship but this is selection bias. I want something better than bias. Will anyone who thinks they know something about this disease please speak up? (The real slim shady..please stand up..)

If you have this condition i want you to know i express my solidarity with you for the suffering you experience. It is a very very dark place not to have the answer, but I hope we find it one day.
