I ask this question to those who may have experience in this since you probably had the same tests done.

You mentioned some autoimmune but have you been checked into hashitmotos {thyroid}, MS. there is also an autoimmune that attacks the pituitary. Make sure your pituitary hormones are checked as well as fibro symptoms have similarities with Cushings and Addisons which is to do with your cortisol levels.
@A MyFibroTeam Member. It would make so much sense if it was autoimmune. If you check out the extremely long list of symptoms with Fibro, they are the same as with autoimmune diseases. In fact many people are misdiagnosed with a autoimmune disease or Fibro all the time.
