bloods, mri. Not just one offs.

Apart from the lower body the whole of my upper back/shoulders/neck hurts all the time.

My doctor once said if anyone asks you how does it feel, tell them to think about the worst flu symptoms that they have ever had and then say that is how I feel every day of my life. They should get the drift.

Fibromyalgia diagnosis is based on the opinion of the doctor, there is no "test".

That is why I want people to receive a proper work up, and other conditions ruled out first.

Fibro doesn't damage the body....... other diseases do.... if a misdiagnosis is made, damage can be irreversible.

[channys_mum]

The tests are to rule out other conditions.

[channys_mum]

Also if your doctor is good he/she will do follow ups to keep ruling out.

 My MRI showed another reason for my symptoms.  Regular MRI's for me now, is to monitor that.
