Have the Dr. check your reflexes. Fibro people have very reactive reflexes.Try walking a straight line, toe and heal. You probably can't do it. There is some new testing with brain scans that show a problem. Fibromyalgia is crazy since everyone is different. Almost all of us struggle with fatigue, weakness, pain through out our body and most of the trigger spots on the body. Fibro fog hits and you can't remember names of coman items, and then know what they're called a few minutes later. It's more of symptoms that point to having this condition. Since it's causes your nerves to be on guard without rest, it involves your whole nervous system. Everyone usually rules out other conditions and then it ends up with a fibromyalgia diagnosis. The horrible part is trying to find a Dr. that believes you and willing to find what medication that can make your life tolerable. Good luck with your journey.

I saw a rheumatologist as well. Had all the tender points. I’ve developed lots of other things since then though

The doctor I went to at the time did no medical tests. She asked me where I hurt, I showed her and she said that it was fibromyalgia. Makes me wonder sometimes if I really did have it. I know I do but I think mine isn't as painful as some of you others on the site.

I saw a neurologist and he ordered an EEG and a Nerve Conduction Study to rule out other neurological problems such as MS. I saw a Rheumatologist and he did lots of blood work which showed that I had high inflammation markers. They also noted that I had a positive Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) test result. The ANA test is one of the primary tests for helping to diagnose a suspected autoimmune disorder. They ruled out Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. However, they diagnosed me with an autoimmune disease called Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease. Later, they did a blood test due to consistent dry eyes and dry mouth and it showed that I had Sjogren's syndrome.

Dr ruled out some things, checked reflexes, toe heel thing and then tender points. I have all of them.
