Wellbeing and Perceived Stigma in Individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia: A Daily Diary Study.
Abstract
The presence or absence of clearly defined symptoms and underlying pathophysiology may be a crucial variable related to variability in wellbeing and stigmatization in individuals with chronic pain (ICPs). In the context of pain, absence of clearly defined symptoms and pathophysiology deviates from the widely endorsed biomedical model and as such, may lead to stigmatization, which in turn could be related to ICPs' wellbeing.
