Another from Toni Bernhard's column. This is a followup to an earlier piece:

One thing I'm hearing more often is: "Oh, yeah, EVERYBODY seems to have fibromyalgia these days", usually accompanied by an eye roll. I realize the diagnosis is becoming more common, but sometimes it is implied that I have this particular ailment just to be trendy. It sure wasn't trendy back in 1997 when I first got sick.
