Why so much diagnoses of lupus, fibromyalgia, arthritis, RA, other similar conditions in developed countries?

aid to developing countries
Desyra asked:


Do not so developed countries have these as often too? I know they have other such as AIDS, malaria, and on and on…
Is it something to do with our environment or what we eat?
Which developed countries have these the most and which have these the least?

I believe that in the past, people just did not talk about it as much as now.We are in a new age of communication and there are more studies in the developed countries. Fibro was thought to be not a real ailment. The same is true for mental illnesses now. Dr care in underdeveloped countries is not up to ours by a long shot. Modern labs make testing and diagnosis more reliable, and new Diseases are being found and documented. The diseases have always been around, Just seldom reliable in diagnosis. There are still too many that are diagnosed through symptoms without actual proof positive testing. MS and Lupus are 2 of those. as well as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.. These still can only be diagnosed for sure after death.
Excellent question! I personally have one of those newer diseases and it was initially thought to be MS, then Lupus.
