Fibromyalgia Support

    Patients who make the effort to learn as much as possible about this disorder usually do better than those who don't. I recommend that you keep this handout handy and re-read it periodically. Fibromyalgia sufferers often elicit less sympathy and support than they deserve from family, friends, and employers because of the lack of outward evidence of disease. Many have been told by physicians that there is nothing wrong with them or that it is "all in your head" which can be very demoralizing. For these reasons, and just because it is good to know that you are not alone, attending a support group can be valuable. There are local support groups in most areas now.
