Ta Daaa...... Here it is - the number one thing you should NOT say to a fibromyalgia patient:
1. It's all in your head.
This is the all-time worst and most insulting thing you can say to someone with fibromyalgia. I used to launch into an explanation of how FM is a very real physical illness, complete with symptoms, etc. Now I simply say, “You're right, it is in my head. Researchers have found that there is a problem with how my brain processes pain signals.” Enough said.
