Patients with fibromyalgia know that the pain is real. Fibromyalgia specialists also know that it is real.
In addition, there is now evidence that fibromyalgia patients’ intense feeling of pain is not just an illusion or imagination. It is now possible to look at the brain and see accurately where it is active. This difficult brain scan is usually referred to as functional magnetic resonance imaging, or a functional MRI. Most fibromyalgics have already undergone a whole series a brain scans, so there is no denying the fact that their pain is real.
