A Norwegian study looked at whether it was helpful for women to find out that they had fibromyalgia. The results of their study showed that many of the participants had been suffering for years, and initially they fell a huge relief when I found out that there was an actual diagnosis for their problem. Some people also felt better because they realize that fibromyalgia will was better than some other more serious condition. However, most people felt sad and depressed after they realized the limitations in treatment options, respect and understanding. The authors conclude "the initial blessing of the fibromyalgia diagnosis seems to be limited in the long run. The process of adapting to this diagnosis can be lonely and strenuous.
