You can be tested for all of the things you listed. For me did blood tests for what you listed & they discovered I had RA. My Dr sent me to a rheumatologists & she said I had most of the trigger points for Fibro. She ran a panel of blood tests on me & ruled everything else it could be out & that's how I was diagnosed.

Also if you have a doctor who is familiar with this disorder, they usually order a blood draw which tests for inflammation. Go in with a list of questions... ask them all and always go with a trusted helper if at all possible.

All the blood test are to rule out the other thing that fibro mimics. If all blood tests ,x-ray,nerve conductions and lab work come back neg, then they do the " poke test". If they peel you off the cealing or pick you up off the floor after then you have fibro.
