If your PCP is anywhere near knowledgeable , he will touch the 18 tender points and if 11 of them are Very hurtful, it's probable. There are no blood tests to diagnose it, only the tender points and your history of pain. Please Google Fibromyalgia. There is a ton of information there, and it will help you to understand this syndrome a little better. There is no one remedy, because everyone's symptoms are so different at any given time. It isn't a "linear" disease; meaning, today you have a bowel problem, so what follows is tender lymph nodes. Instead, today lymph nodes, tomorrow brain fog, and no two people will have the same symptoms at the same time in the progression of this illness. There are quite a few pages on this thread, but if you read back, you'll be able to see the symptoms that are common to fibro. Best regards
