"Another category of rheumatism is psychogenic rheumatism.
With this term it is understood that the patient is reporting
inconsistent pains of muscles and joints that do not correspond
to true anatomy and physiology.

The patient is felt to have underlying psychological
causes for the symptoms."

>From this page: "A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE CHILDHOOD RHEUMATIC

DISEASES FOR PHYSICIANS"

"2. Psychogenic Rheumatism: Vague joint pains and fatigue are
frequent manifestations of 'somatization' disorders. The child who
is unable to attend school despite a normal physical exam and
laboratory evaluation is often demonstrating psychological
distress.

Many will respond to gentle reassurance, but in others
the complaints mask a significant psychological disorder.

Children with persistent complaints despite normal findings should
be evaluated carefully for family problems.

An immediate recommendation of psychological counseling is
frequently rejected, but physicians who establish a trusting
relationship with the family by thoroughly investigating the child
for medical illness before suggesting a psychological origin may
be able to bring about gradual resolution."

"3. Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy: This represents a more severe
form of psychogenic rheumatism in which the somatization
has progressed to include hyperaesthesias, often with mottled
skin coloring and vascular instability.

The condition often begins with a well documented injury which
failed to improve. The syndrome typically occurs in 'perfect'
children under excessive parental pressure.

Performance activities and sexual abuse are well recognized causes
of this syndrome."

"Fibromyalgia was originally described by Gowers
in 1904 as an inflammatory condition (Gowers 1904).

When no evidence for an inflammatory or degenerative process could
be found and an association was noted with depression
and stress, the concept of "psychogenic rheumatism" was
advanced (Boland 1947).

Since the incidence of depression and other psychiatric disorders
in fibromyalgia has subsequently been shown to be no greater than
in other chronic, painful, debilitating conditions (Goldenberg
1989), it is no longer felt that fibromyalgia is a psychosomatic
or somatiform disorder, although both depression and anxiety may
contribute to the onset of symptoms through sleep disruption."

evidence of how this mis-information gets perpetuated

"2 PSYCHOGENIC RHEUMATISM: Vague joint
pains and fatigue are frequent manifestations of
'psycho-somatic' disorders. The child who is unable
to attend school despite a normal medical examination and
laboratory tests is often demonstrating psychological
distress.

Gentle holistic aromatherapy massage and bath
treatments with personal formulations are very
helpful to these children."

"Primary fibromyalgia (fibrositis): clinical study of 50 patients
with matched normal controls. "In contrast, symptoms of
psychogenic rheumatism patients have little fluctuation, if
any, and are modulated by emotional rather than physical
factors.

In psychogenic rheumatism, there is diffuse
tenderness rather than tender points at specific
sites."

http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1998/04apr/grem.htm
"It is also important to establish the presence of nontender
control points, such as the midforehead or anterior thigh,
prior to establishing a diagnosis. Control sites allow the
clinician to distinguish between FM and a conversion reaction
(psychogenic rheumatism), in which perceived pain is bodywide."

http://www.sunflower.org/~cfsdays/ptfms.htm

"In order to help distinguish between the malingerer and a patient
who is truly in pain, and to avoid confusing FS with other pain
states such as psychogenic rheumatism and somatization disorders,"
