Good post.

You would have thought doctors would have learned from stomach ulcers - they went from being caused by "inner anger eating away at your stomach lining" to being caused by a bacteria (or NSAIDs).

I'm not dismissing the brain-body link at all - just the notion that because there is one it also means there is also no underlying physiology.

If fibromyalgia was indeed "fabricated" then no randomized clinical trial for it could ever be successful - the fact that we have now had trials with highly statistically significant results must mean the disease is real.

To my mind if you look at some diseases with female predominance - depression, migraine, fibromyalgia and perhaps some types of irritable bowel, you can see a common underlying thread of serotonin malfunction, perhaps modulated by estrogen.
