According to this it's under Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue.
I think it's a great improvement. Not perfect but headed in the right direction. It does mention exercise but fails to mention it needs to be weight bearing like walking and warm water therapy. However, certainly not as intense nor as long in duration for those who are not sick. Tender points aren't as prominent. I think if poked with the least bit of pressure just about anywhere on my body, it would hurt followed by the intense, breathtaking aching that makes you feel like you are runnung a temperature of 106 and your bone marrow is being sucked out, followed by exhaustion. I would not be able to tolerate a massage which I used to love. This is in addition to IBS, RLS and severe sleep issues which are usually comorbid with FM.
FM is now considered by many to be neurological. But it may be this, as well as some the above which I think are inaccuracies, has to do with lack of research to say this is definitive.
FM often starts with a physical injury, possibly a long standing health condition, but not always. I had a complicated broken arm. Whiplash is often mentioned as one of the leading events that precipitate FM. But of course not everyone gets FM after a physical injury, so there is some underlying process. Again, this may not be definitive but what my neurologist and PCP report. Some doctors now refer you to a neurologist. I've also seen a physical therapist who specializes in FM and MS. I love the warm water therapy but the problem, like most of us, is actually having the energy to get there or participate.
