FMS misconceptions and myths

The FMS condition or the constant fatigue syndrome is a very poorly understood disease and the hence there are many myths and misconceptions about the disorder. The disease has till now remained a medical mystery and there are no confirmed definitions and causes of the disorder. There are many theories about the disease. The fortunate thing about this condition is that it doesn’t affect many people and it is also not contagious and life threatening at all. People tend to form and perpetuate wrong ideas and conceptions about the disease, which leads to confusion and bewilderment in the mind of the patient. The lack of any scientific information about the disease may also lead to wrong diagnosis and treatment of the disorder. People think that Fibromyalgia is not a real illness rather it is psychological and this is not true at all, the fact is that the FMS disease is very much real and it is a very complicated disorder which manifests itself in different symptoms all over the body of the sufferer. There is continuous pain and the patient develops certain tender points on the body, which become excessively sensitive to touch and pressure. The presence of different symptoms in the disease is real and medical. The patient is surely not a hypochondriac in the FMS disorder. Earlier the disease was considered as purely psychological and emotional and related to only women but now it is not so and even men can be diagnosed with the FMS disorder.

Disease:

People also think that the disease is life threatening and cause loss of life to the sufferer, but the fact is that the disease is not at all fatal. Patients who have chronic conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and migraines are more likely to have fibromyalgia. But it has not been confirmed that the disease can kill the patient. There is one more myths about the FMS condition which states that the disease is quite new and is hardly seen around, but the fact is that the disorder had been there but it was known by different names because of the symptoms it showed. The misconception was cleared in 1980 by giving it a different name that summed up the condition of the disease.

There is the misconception that the FMS attacks only women and not men, this is partially true but men and women are at the equal risk of getting the disorder; it is only that women are more prone to the disease than men.
