There is not one single test that can say that you have Fibro. They do many blood tests to rule out other conditions such as arthritis, Lupus etc. Then they will do a tender point test touching 18 different parts on your body. if you have 11 or more of the tender points and pain on both sides of your body for three or more months for no other reason then they will usually diagnos fibro. It is best to see a Rhuemetologist to be diagnosed. You might try and google fibromyalgia there is allot of information out there.   Sometimes it's hard to walk, talk, or even know what tomorrow brings. But as long as I have a smile on my face I can give a little bit of sunshine! |
