It seems that immune deficiency disorders such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lupus, etc. are becomming more and more common. Is it because doctors are getting better at diagnosing these or are more people really getting them? Is it environmental??? Is it genetics catching up with us?? What do you think?

I think that doctors are getting better at diagnosing these conditions. I remember a friend of mine having so many problems when she was in her late 40's. The doctor's treated her for many different things. It wasn't until about 5 years ago that they found her to have fibromyalgia. It took her a long time to battle with the government so she could get disability benefits because the condition left her unable to work.
