Hi everyone,
My dad (mid 50s) has been experiencing intense muscle pain and tenderness in shoulder, chest, arm, leg, and really bad GERD issues for around 1 year. He also having really bad sleep problems (and depression), and taking several medications such as etoricoxib/orinox and omeprazole (both not really effective). He has been meeting several specialists (therapist, neurologist, rheumatologist, pathologist, orthopedics, etc). He took several tests like physical test, palpation, ANA, stool test, Complete blood test, X-ray, and MRI as recommended, but none of them showed any conclusive results (everythings fine). All of the doctors seems puzzled and can not diagnose the problems, and they are just giving drugs.
My dad symtomps are really similar with fibromyalgia (i do intensive interview about his symptoms).
I'm just wondering, what kind of test that can detect fibromyalgia and gives a definite/conclusive result. And then, please share your story about what kind of test did you take before get diagnosed, and how your doctors do the diagnosis (?).
I will appreciate any help/story/suggestion from everyone here, and please forgive my english.
Thank you very much!
