Perhaps, then, like ADD and ADHD it is being too commonly misdiagnosed and that is what causes certain doctors to dismiss it as a subject of quackery.

I am sorry to hear that you experience chronic pain and do not want to belittle the struggle you go through on your path toward full health.

There were some areas of my body that were rather sensitive and it was very painful to have them massaged. Maybe it was slight fibromyalgia, maybe something else. I don't know.

I am glad to hear that each of you have discovered what affects the feeling and ability of various parts of your body in positive ways.

My intention wasn't to belittle, rather to offer some support to a person who was given a label and started to freak out. The label doesn't necessarily mean what a person thinks it means. Like you said, everyone is different.
