Yes. They are about to assault their local Dollar General, establish some freedom, and then go home before they are outed for faking fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia: "You cant prove I don't have it!"

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I was with you until the fibromyalgia comment.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just to highlight they were faking fibromyalgia, not insulting it.

But if adds to the general perception of fibro patients as being malingerers and liars which is unpleasant.

Hi I'm a doctor. Yes fibromyalgia is real. Yes it's probably used as a catchall dx for a group of various mental and musculoskeletal conditions. From what I have seen, it's mostly used by malingerers trying to get on disability.

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Getting on disability is the hardest, most humiliating process. You are out of touch if you think there's a ton of people out there malingering, especially just to get on disability.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ok great, please make more assumptions about my practice and then re-read my statement.

The nutters are screaming and crying in the streets that their nutter-lord has been wrongly persecuted like a modern day Joan of Arc.
