Searching for answers, and a diagnosis can be frustrating. Why do fibromyalgia (or other "invisible" illness patients) want a diagnosis? Most people with a disease don't want a diagnosis. The reason we do is because our illness is invisible. We can classify ourselves as the Walking Wounded. We are functioning, but with great difficulty. On the outside we look good, sometimes we even look fantastic. But we function on extremely low energy reserves, and in constant pain that migrates around our entire bodies. We also have the embarrassment of frequent urination, bowel problems and other annoying symptoms that are present more often than not. We want others to know that even though we're functioning, we're doing so at low capacity, and everything we do is twice as hard as it is for them, and three times as hard as it was for us before we became sick.
