✦ Synopsis

The authors appropriately point out the unlikeliness of a simple psychologic etiology for fibrositis; however, they fail to point out the evidence that relief of pain reverses the MMPI scales (2).

The use of the MMPI or other such instruments to make a diangosis is, in general, fraught with danger (3). It is more precarious in this disease, for many of these victims are thrust from pillar to post with varied labels ranging from rheumatoid arthritis to malingering. The confusion is often compounded by surgery and injury with litigation.

I hope that we will see more studies of this painful condition and that our professional organizations will give it more attention.
