I've lost track of the number of new patients who have presented to my clinic with fibromyalgia in their reported medical history, but who were unable to produce a paper trail leading back to the original exam, workup, and diagnosis. I'm sure there's a correlation between the number of patients complaining of fibromyalgia and the number of TV commercials hawking medications for it. And the dearth of commercials concerning things like hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, post-herpetic neuralgia, lupus, etc. that manifest in a similar way.
We've strayed pretty far from the topic anyway, which was the notion that if you have a particular food sensitivity, don't go into a restaurant and say: "I'm allergic to everything in here. Change it or I'm leaving."
