Diagnosing Fibro: what was your path to answers?

Hi everyone,

I’m (29F) currently going through a re-evaluation to see if my diagnosis of fibromyalgia is accurate or if there’s something else going on. I’ve been living with a fibromyalgia diagnosis for the past eight years, but I recently got healthcare again and started working with an amazing new doctor. Not all of my symptoms seem to fully align with fibromyalgia, so we’re diving into new testing to get a clearer picture.

I’d love to hear your stories about how you were diagnosed. What kind of testing or evaluations did your doctor perform? What were your symptoms leading up to your diagnosis? Any insights or experiences you can share about the process would be so helpful as I navigate this journey.

Where I’m at: Results from my DNA test showed nothing 🫠 Currently Waiting on my advanced blood work to come back If we don’t get any answers from my advanced bloodwork, I am going to have an EMG if we don’t get answers from the EMG, I’m going in for a small fiber biopsy And then so on until we find out!

Thank you in advance for sharing!
