Fibromyalgia blood tests

[Guest]

GP told me this am that blood tests for fibromyalgia were negative and that Carpal Tunnel would not explain all of my symptoms and neither would GERD or RSI

Now looking for signs of muscle atrophy and loss of strength.... not a happy bunny

Good Lord....

There is no blood test for Fibromyalgia.

With just hand/arm issues, it's much more likely that you've pulled something or pinched a nerve in your neck, or a nerve where it passes through the elbow, or thoracic outlet syndrome or.....well, the list is long.

These aren't ALS symptoms--and fibro doesn't just hit one part of the body either--but Lord, the doctor told you there was a blood test for fibro? REALLY?
