One of the things that drives me crazy about fibromyalgia research is that every tested treatment seems to "help" 60% of people. CBT, acupuncture, stretching, going for a walk/run, and gabapentin all have studies saying they work for 60%. It really makes me question if 60% of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia have something completely different than the fibromyalgia I have.
