Today, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition. My parents seemed very sympathetic and my mother even cried. When we got home, though, they started laughing and asked if I really believed all the shit the doctor was talking about. FML

CBAS is no laughing matter. If they have it they need to seek help immediately

Ah yes, screw the advice of the trained medical professional with years of experience, they must be total idiots. This is really awful, a lot of the time, if the illness isn't clearly visible, people just don't understand and are unsympathetic, even if you have a clear diagnosis. On top of that, your parents sound like sociopaths, faking emotions when it's convenient, then being terrible once they're alone and can get away with it. I know what your going through OP, I get told the same thing for my neurological autoimmune disorder, luckily not by my own parents though. I find the best way is to be insistent, don't let them beat you down and say it's fake. Give them the medical facts on it and how it all works, educate them, even if they don't want it. If that doesn't get through to them, ignore it, you can't fix ignorant and stupid. If it were me, I'd cut them off eventually, they sound like pretty bad people, and that stress isn't good for your condition either.

I don't understand how people can be like that. If one of them were diagnosed I bet it would be a different story.

Depends on the condition.. If it was fibromyalgia, then no, cause that's a diagnosis of exclusion, but any other DX yes I do believe the Dr and I'm sorry that happened to you

Well you're not wrong about fibromyalgia being a diagnosis of exclusion, but I have to be blunt - how would you know if the doctor HADN'T ruled out any other possibilities? The thing is, you don't know, so therefore, you're making assumptions.

There are a lot more diseases that are of exclusion. It took me a year and several extremely painful tests, missing days of school, almost getting 911 called, to get diagnosed. Fibro isnt quickly diagnosed, trust me.

Wow, I'm very sorry about that op, I guess your parents don't like bad news and are acting like the diagnosis is fake. Sit down and talk to them. Make sure that they understand how serious this is.

I don't think an explanation would matter to them - they're already predisposed into believing that chronic pain is a myth. Sadly, there are even doctors like that... like the doctor that UNdiagnosed my mother's fibromyalgia after barely inspecting her and writing down what he wanted to hear instead of what she actually said. My mother's GP was pretty pissed about that, actually.

I think your parents need a doctor... A different kind of doctor though.
