I can certainly agree with this, and the article by this doctor. As I said in my previous post, I hate the idea of being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and was treated for this by a specialist, but given Xanax as a help. I do not see how that would cure my lower back pain, abdominal pain, and fatigue after having a Hyst., and realized these complications. Xanax? This will cure me? I am being sent to a doctor, and feel a 'cover-up' for what is really wrong. How about prolapsed bowels and other organs? Will Xanax solve this? "Yes, you have Fibromyalgia", this specialist of Fibromyalgia said. Yet, was he treating the 'patient' or just 'diagnosing' me to give me some kind of disease/syndrome? I am led a DIRECTION AND COURSE now to take medication for Fibromyalgia when this is not what is wrong. We know our own bodies, and I know prescribing Xanax will not cure my physical horrible back pain when I bend over, my awful abdominal pain, and please tell me, if anyone knows, how an anti-depressant/anxiety pill would cure this? I am one of millions of women out there who are misdiagnosed, and treated for something else, and is it to be, by doctors, "Oh, this will soothe her by giving her some name for an illness." What a broad term Fibromyalgia is too. Is it the new term doctors give when they cannot think of anything else to tell women? "There, that is it - I will prescribe Xanax for her, and maybe that will keep her quiet. How cruel. Don't get me wrong here, either. I fully believe a name should be given for the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. But do not, dear doctors, diagnose, and not treat the individual patient. I am screaming for physical diagnosis after a Hyst. gone bad, and my prolapsed organs cannot be cured with a pill...
