I have been reading about a new Fibromyalgia blood test that claims to be 99% accurate in diagnosing FM and ruling out other conditions. Has anyone read about it or talked to their doctor about it? Has anyone had this test done yet? If so, what are your thoughts? I am seriously considering having this blood test done as a 'second opinion', since I was diagnosed in the early to mid-90s. You can google FM test and read about this. The test looks for protein molecules in the blood called chemokines and cytokines, which are produced by white blood cells. FM patients have few chemokines and cytokines in their blood and as a result have weaker immune systems than normal patients, according to the study I have read. You can also go to the National Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Association website to read about the study.
I would love to hear from anyone about this.
Have a great weekend!
