@A MyFibroTeam Member, I was diagnosed in 2012 before the test came out. My doctor did all the blood tests to rule out everything else, and the tender point test,which I screamed almost every time he barely pushed a tender point on my body. Ouch!! And, then I was given the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. That was the protocol in 2012. I just found out about this test today, when another Fibro friend posted it. It's quite expensive...between 750.00 and 1000.00. Some insurance companies are now covering it, since Fibro is finally listed in the Medical Journal...but many are still not covering it.. Hope you're feeling well, girlie. Hug Pickles for me!! lol 🤗🤗🌷🌷💕

I had somthing like that blood test and my dr tried to get insurance to cover it to no avail.
It is a very expensive test but it does give you the kind of Fibro you have.
I am on the extreme level towards MS.
Only 40% of the population have this kind from what my dr said.
But knowing this, doesn't change anything right now.
I just know that I need to pray more for all of you going through each day more🙂

I'm not sure if my Rheumatologist did this test or not. I'm going to ask for copies of the blood work she did. I think it's weird that she probably tested for thyroid and I had it done over a year ago by my PCP, but then they test a year later and I have hypothyroidism. While my fatigue is improving, I still have all the usual fibro symptoms. I will ask if she did this test. Since it runs in families and my mom definitely has been diagnosed with it for many years now, she may have not mentioned it. Thanks for sharing Clarey! Hugs girlfriend ♡ ♡ ♡
