I can't imagine having that level of intense, daily pain and being told to "relax more, think positive thoughts, and take Tylenol." What a tremendous relief it must have been for it to ease up with the prednisone.

I didn't get confused between you and your friend; my thoughts just meandered a bit.

Regarding your friend, there is no excuse for her PCP to dismiss fibromyalgia as psychosomatic, especially considering it is one of the diseases for which one is qualified to seek SS Disability.
