"In those with fibromyalgia there is overwhelming polysymptomatic distress, with severe pain and severe symptoms of all sorts One doesn't either have fibromyalgia or not have it There is a gradual transition from the mild to the severe. The point at which we classify an individual as having fibromyalgia is arbitrary, but reasonable. Fibromyalgia, therefore, is a convenient shorthand, not a disease."
