@A MyFibroTeam Member. Actually no I wasn't worried about that. Hahaha. In October of 2015,fibromyalgia was added to the known illness book. I'm sorry I can't remember the exact name. Defintely find someone who can treat you that understands it's for real.

I personally don't like Primary Care Physicians for the treatment of fibro unless they are highly informed and trained on this. I have not had good experiences with them. I go straight to the specialists. You can keep your PCP for other things and keep the Rheumatologist for fibro and RA treatment depending on your insurance.

It is in the DSM-5, IC-9 as there is a psychiatric connection as well as the somatic issues

Would this be it? http://www.cdc.gov/arthritis/basics/fibromyalgi...

Isn't DSM for diagnosed mental illness. I think it was more like with the CDC or national health institute. I'm so very sorry I can't remember(surprise, surprise)which book is was listed in. I need to write it down when I come across it again. It was a rapt big deal because now it's legitimate.
