    again, fibro is frequently treated with antidepressants. this is not (just) laziness. read your insurance policy on meds and i bet you’ll find they won’t let you proceed with diagnosis for anything else until you’ve been on an SSRI for 6 months. Idiopathic pain, somatoform disorder, etc. allllllll have to be ruled out. It’s not (just) because you’re female, but is IS CERTAINLY because you’re American.

      Don’t you consider such unscientific bureaucratic rulings as being part of the problem?

      Take a step back and think for a bit.
