The pain is real, but is fibromyalgia a condition? Depends who you ask

[Guest guest]

Many of you may have been upset by Dr. Fred Wolfe’s comments in the recent NY Times

article, and rightfully so – it is painful to read about a doctor who is

actively conducting FM research and is publicly discrediting fibro. And,

it isn’t the first time Dr. Wolfe has been quoted in the press as a

fibromyalgia skeptic.

Here is an article going back to 2003. At

least this article points out more current research and more data from Dr.

Clauw, who is perhaps the FM community’s greatest researcher and

ally. This article may be quoting skeptical comments made by Dr. Wolfe,

but it focuses on the studies that have been done to prove that FMS is a real,

diagnosable illness, and the pain IS real!
