Third-Party Descriptions

January 2008: "Dr. Frederick Wolfe, the director of the National Databank for Rheumatic Diseases and the lead author of the 1990 paper that first defined the diagnostic guidelines for fibromyalgia, says he has become cynical and discouraged about the diagnosis. He now considers the condition a physical response to stress, depression, and economic and social anxiety."

Jan 14, 2008 Drug Approved. Is Disease Real?

QUOTE: For patient advocacy groups and doctors who specialize in fibromyalgia, the Lyrica approval is a milestone. They say they hope Lyrica...will legitimize fibromyalgia, just as Prozac brought depression into the mainstream. But other doctors...say that the disease does not exist and that Lyrica and the other drugs will be taken by millions of people who do not need them.
