I have been tested for just about every autoimmune disease there is and they have been ruled out. They do the same test to R/O MS so I have dual diagnosis of fibro and MS
I have had at least 3 MRI's of brain..first showed stroke, others were to R/O MS which they have yet to do and this has been going on for almost 2 years now. I do have degeneration of the coverings of the nerves in the brain which they don't know what is causing that (age) one said...I just turned 57 not quite a month ago!
They did a brain MRI on me. I went to the MS specialist in the group. He assured me there were no lesions and it was not MS.
I had a brain MRI to rule out MS and 26 blood tests to rule out everything else. Which it did. So I have straight up Fibro with other health issues that make it difficult to treat.
I have been tested for lymes disease twice. Nope.
