Bring them to doctor: A suggestion would be to bring one of them along to the doctor who can best explain the process . You can also suggest that they go online and read about it.

Support groups: Best way for fibromyalgia patient to explain disorder to others is join Internet support groups. Next, bring up support groups & show person you want to educate how to scroll through comments of a few sufferers. It won't take long for reader to be adequately impressed & to become sympathetic to your plight. The relative absence of outward signs of disorder reason lay people & many doctors doubt.
