    How do you get your significant other to understand fibromyalgia?

    I feel my husband is in complete denial of my diagnose of fibro. It surprises me because as I was attending Pain management, and going from doctor to doctor trying to find out what is wrong with me and why my neck, lower back, shooting pains here and there, feet hurt, etc. etc...

    What is the trigger point test?

    I can't find the post again, but I read somewhere on one of these boards something about a trigger point test to diagnose fibromyalgia . My doctor said I have fibromyalgia, but she did not perform any test specifically to make her diagnosis. I got the impression she was labeling it...

    Finally diagnosed

    Well, let's start from the beginning of my story and see what everyone thinks. I'm 22 years old. I guess looking back on it, I've had signs of this for awhile but it didn't become such a debilitating problem until a few month ago. At this time I was walking over an hour to work at a call...

    Almost Diagnosed

    So I've had doctors say "Well, it could be Fibromyalgia. Here, you should try this Metanx stuff." It's basically a B-vitamin food supplement that costs an arm and a leg and is marketed for diabetic neuropathy, not fibromyalgia. Another doctor did some blood tests and said "You have non-specific...

    Is fibro over-diagnosed

I believe that some doctors clamp onto something and then use it as a diagnosis whenever they can't figure out what's wrong with something. For instance, a lot of kids who don't have ADHD...
