Fibromyalgia is a physical illness. The pain comes from tender points and it doesn't take much to irritate them. I really don't see why some people think it's a mental illness. I feel the pain from fibromyalgia 24/7. I've had the symptoms of it since i was 5 yrs old, I was diagnosed last year. Im 15 now so 10 years of this pain, I don't see why people would think I'm just making it up. It really does hurt.
