Were You Given Tests Prior To Diagnosis?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was told 2 days ago that I have Fibro by a rhumatologist. My issue is that they looked a questionaire I filled in and went off of that. I walked into the room and was told "ypu fit the classic profile of someome with fibromyalgia, we're not going to do any bloods/scans/xrays because they would just come back normal." My issue with this is, what if its one of the many other conditions that have similar symptoms? I've had no tests done by my GP prior to this either. Has anyone else had this… read more

Hi Kacie, You Almost Have It Figured Out. You Are One In Thousands. I Would Really Like To Talk To You.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

You are right when you say "I know that "fibromyalgia" is just a label that doctors give to patients that they cannot or do not want to help". What you missed is that there is a real condition of Fibromyalgia except practically no one gets it right not even doctors. I've heard said there are 200 symptoms of Fibromyalgia and sure once you have a word that names something that you can't diagnose, that word can be used as an answer for a plethora of those ailments that there are no definitive tests… read more

Would Someone Please Explain This, Is Fibro Autoimmune Or Not?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I found a question and answer on Google that just doesn't make sense to me. First I read that it may be different in different people,, meaning (?} that it could be autoimmune. Then it says Fibro is not autoimmune, which I thought it is. So, here's Google's answer.

Is fibromyalgia autoimmune or neurological?
