That's because they know its a symptom. Its not that they don't believe you have the symptoms but I think a lot of doctors see it as a copout. There are no tests for FM, they can only go on symptoms. When every test known to man has been done and when nothing points in any particular direction, then perhaps a diagnosis of FM should be given (though remember, its a diagnosis of unknown muscle pain symptoms) but because doctors know that many people just want a diagnosis, they tell them they have FM.
