You said she never says anything about, and then a fountain of information. Which is it?
Is Fibromayalga Real?

It’s very real and the fact that you asked this question the way you did was disrespectful and pathetic.
I believe your diagnosis here for referring to “middle-aged women who are lonely and need attention” is more polite than mine.
Oh so sorry…. Didn’t want to be a faker. She tells my wife all this and my wife tells me. Is that better?
Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome can often be misdiagnosed with each other or other diseases, it’s not always an exact science or easy to diagnose. but for people to question if the person is actually suffering or not kind of annoys me. Obviously these people are suffering in some way and it’s usually a long term problem.
Unless they've changed recently, fibermyalgia is recognized as a disability under Social Security.
This thread could be interesting. Is this what the cave is like?

Sort of, but it lacks a certain flavor without @CyBri dumbing everything.
Female viagra was tested on men. Or male rats only. I gotta check but it's insane. Women's hormones make it "too complicated " to adequately represent in animal to human trials. At the cost of women's health and lives, see heart attack symptom training.
23 men and 2 women for alcohol interactions. That's insanity. Men's metabolism body size and hormones will treat all of that differently.
Before my mom passed away, she complained of pain over several years and in many physical locations. When some of us were skeptical, a doctor specializing in pain management told us it didn't matter what we thought. Pain is experienced by the individual and the goal is to help manage it, regardless of whether the cause is easily identified or understood.
As an insurance claim adjuster for 30 years, I first began to see this diagnosis about 1995. Keep in mind, "fibro" means muscle fibers are involved, and "myalgia" just means muscle pain. What I observed is that there is no evidence for this diagnosis. Many illnesses and diseases can be verified with a test. Many physical ailments can be verified with X-Ray, MRI, CT scan, etc.
With fibromyalgia there is nothing to see, no test to prove it. It seemed to be a term developed for otherwise unexplained pain. It could be real, it's just not objective.
I became skeptical because it became such a popular diagnosis for people involved in auto accidents, usually those who retained an attorney. Again, this is not evidence, but I'm just explaining the basis for my doubts.
So, whereas I had been settling claims for a few thousand dollars when people were stiff and sore for several weeks, with fibromyalgia the argument became that the accident didn't just cause temporary muscle sprain or strain. Now it was a debilitating crippling pain with no discernible cure or resolution. And all with no physical or medical proof, but requiring much more money to compensate the victim.
So, this doesn't answer the question, it is just one man's experience.

I never understood questioning someone who says they are feeling pain.
Why do you assume they are faking?
We have a 5 year old with Down Syndrome. We have a handicap tag that we only use if weather is bad. Thoughts?
How would you scan or test someone who claims they got punched in the ****?
ETA: There are many anatomical/physiological issues that are asymptomatic but only diagnosed due to imaging. As an insurance adjuster, are you going to cover something just because it was found in a scan, even if the patient doesn't need/want it?
