How Did People Manage To Get Their Diagnosis Of Fibromyalgia? What Specialists (if Any Did You See)?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Inverness, UK

My doctor has agreed that I am suffering from Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia type symptoms but I cannot get any further forward than that.
I keep having to take time off work as I am unwell and struggle to keep up and I am worried that without a firm explanation for my poor health that it will eventually cost me my job.
Many thanks

I was diagnosed by a neurologist. But I had to go to a GI and urologist to rule out anything (I have over lapping symptoms of things), than I had to see an infectious disease doctor, and a rheumatologist. All before I got to my neurologist who FINALLY diagnosed me after 2 years of searching. I wish you the best of luck!!

They ruled out everything like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,etc. then I tested positive on 15 of 18 of the tender points. It does feel like the worst case of the flu x10

I am unable to work now. The issue here with me and maybe some others, is... Well, you don't quite feel like you are doing your Fair Share in Life including work.

Me family dr diagnosed me. Unfortunately there are still doctors who do not recognize fibromyalgia. Just have to search for a dr who is familiar with it and understands how to treat it.
