Explaining Fibromyalgia

hello i cant believe it at work when someone asks whats wrong and you tell them briefly, there response is" but you r so young or they say gross whats that ? How could you possible explain it where they would understand it with out getting into a long discussion. They wont .I have experienced doubting looks or comments from family members and friends about the pain and symptoms of this disorder.There are even a few doctors who continue to question the "realness" of fibromyalgia pain. This skepticism arises from the fact that the health-care community is not yet able to fully explain what causes or perpetuates the pain., your explanation to others about fibromyalgia should be straightforward and uncomplicated. You might say something like, "Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic disorder that causes muscle tenderness, pain and fatigue." If the other person doesn't understand, you might make your explanation simpler, such as "Fibromyalgia is like arthritis in the muscles." Of course, this explanation is not entirely accurate, but it should be readily understood.
