* I mentioned approximately 32 of these symptoms to a number of medical doctors

over the past 3 years especially, with no attention being paid to them as a

hormone problem, but rather as part of FMS! I eventually became sorry that I had

ever gone to a Rheumotologist who diagnosed me with FMS because following that

diagnosis, it was and still is all the medical doctors look at regardless of

having my full medical history and symptoms, if only they had recognized them I

could have been properly treated years ago!

A symptom is an abnormality the patient is experiencing but that others can't

observe and independently verify.

A sign is an abnormality the patient is experiencing and that others can observe

and independently confirm.

It's been my experience over the past 10 years that medical doctors look at

" signs " and neglect " symptoms " . Maybe they no longer know how to recognize them

as doctors years ago did.
