Tests
Just wanted to know what tests people have been through to get the diagnosis of fibromyalgia?
I have had an MRI of my neck my brain, upper and lower nerve conduction studies, ultrasounds of both inner legs to check for blood clots and a cat-scan of my abdominal region as well as x-rays multiple blood work ups...all they found was a kidney stone. So my neurologist diagnosed me with fibro and neuropathy
I've had ultrasound on my shoulder, neck, liver stomach, kidneys, seen a orthopaedic and rheumatoid specialist, still under a neurologist, while having these tests found I had a problem with a kidney so another issue to sort, and endless blood tests.
I didn't have any tests , I was chatting to a pain specialist about my symptoms and he said I had fibromyalgia and had properly had it for years , it was good to know that I wasn't losing the plot and that In fact I had a condition that was recognised by the medical profession. I've learnt to manage my condition although some days are tough I get through it some how . Have you been referred to a pain specialist? That may be a good starting point . All the best Denise
I've had every blood test a person could. As well as seen every kind of doctor a person could.
Blood tests; CBC, SED rate, Vitamin D and Vitmain B12, RA Factor, ANA, and different ANA factors. I had a trigger point exam which was awful with a lot of pain. I luckily got a positive ANA without any autoimmune diseases, so far, since they run in my family I saw my first rheumatologist 3 months after showing symptoms. He confirmed the diagnosis after I was showing symptoms for 5 months. I've been treated by my PCP in Jan. I've been treated by my new rheumatologist, who was second to confirm my diagnosis in June.
