As one who suffers with Fibromyalgia and dyasutonomia, I can assure you that you are off track. Fibromyalgia is a central pain syndrome. Pain pathways become upregulated to process pain. How can you say pain that someone experiences is "out of proportion"?

Dysautonomia is a nervous system injury. The autonomic nervous system dumps adrenalin when other measures to regulate blood pressure fail. The result is excessive adrenalin, followed by adrenal fatigue. When one spends a great deal of time flooded with adrenalin, one will limit all activities that cause the discomfort. Activities as seemingly simple as sitting or standing will trigger adrenal surge, pain, distress, panic and anger. And you think she is an over-reactor?

She is the ultimate over-reactor to, shall we say, things that offend her sensibilities. Not to mention a total baby to adverse physical stimulii. What I claiming is that the over-reaction to painful stimulii extends to adverse physical AND to psychological stimulii.
Amazing remark. She deserves someone better.
