Because trolling sick people is fun!

fibromyalgia is an lj community for people interested in and usually who suffer from fibromyalgia.

rake_blackguard makes post asking:

"So what does it say that a medication effective for the treatment of Fibromyalgia is an antidepressant?

Could it possibly be that Fibromyalgia is an ultimately psychosomatic disorder?"

People respond and OP responds to every comment with sunshine and joy. Or totally flamey sarcasm...

disclaimer: I was unsure where to put this because I did initially post on the thread before we knew it was a troll. Once s/h/it started reponding to every comment it was clearly flamebaiting. It is definitely unfunny to troll a bunch of sick people and tell them their illness is imaginary.

(I'm

imaginarycircus on the thread, in the interest of full disclosure.) Apologies if you think should be moved to

i_wank I'll move it.

ETA: bahleeted.

	My mom has both as well. I'm glad she found doctors who take her seriously. Honestly, I think the reason why people are so quick to deny the validity of the disorder is because doctors can't find a cut-and-dried cause...yet. I think it's a matter pf them not knowing as much about the body as they'd like us to think we do. /thoughts on fibro (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right. There is a lot modern medicine doesn't know. And I had never even heard of fibro before I was diagnosed. I hope your mom doesn't have the IBS too. Because omg is that the least fun trifecta ever. :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've got the trifecta. (Well, gastroparesis, not IBS. Plus migraines and cerebral palsy.) So I know how you feel. :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	YUCK! Different trifecta of suck--but sounds like even less fun. fibro/IBS/arthritis is annoying and exhausting but thankfully I haven't had a migraine in years. Man, I'm sorry to hear so many of us here have all these health problems. :( (Reply to this)(Parent)
