Yes, I have experienced this from many friends who don't think Fibro is real and think I'm imagining my symptoms or overreacting. It's so frustrating. When I first started having symptoms, my GP at the time didn't actually say he thought I was a hypochondriac, but it was obvious that's what he thought. Because blood tests and other tests all came back normal, he didn't know what to do to help me and never even suggested it could be Fibro or some autoimmune disease. Other doctors think Fibro was real, but have no idea how painful and debilitating it can be.
