A few months ago, I noticed a surprising trend among my readers, viewers and clients: many of them reported having chronic pain and often, fibromyalgia.

I wondered: could fibromyalgia and its "alter-ego" chronic pain be connected to being abused by a narcissist? And you know me – I'm a nerd. I started researching.

The official word in the medical community, from what I can tell, is that the cause of fibromyalgia is unknown and that it exists among people whose brains "process pain differently."

The diagnosis has sometimes been considered controversial, with some people saying it's "not real" or "an imagined condition," but even traditional medicine now acknowledges the condition as a "real" diagnosis.

Still, there's no official test for fibromyalgia, so diagnosis is based on a cluster of symptoms rather than a "positive result," which may account for some of the doubters. Symptoms include: deep tissue pain, fatigue, depression, mood swings and insomnia.

Still, for anyone who has ever experienced the pain and isolation that the condition involves, there's no doubt: fibromyalgia is very real – and it makes your life hard. Even worse is that some doctors may ignore your symptoms and blame them on your imagination, leaving you to deal with your pain unassisted.

So, is fibromyalgia associated with narcissistic abuse?
