This looks interesting. I'm now printing it to fill-in. Thanksx
Just filled it in and I definately have Fibromyalgia under the New Clinical Fibromyalgia Diagnostic Criteria = lucky me! Scoring a fantastic 14 for Part1 and 11 for part (2&2a).
Guess that ends my hope that they had got it wrong and they'll realise tomorrow and give me the wonderful tablet to make it all go away 
. Oh well, off my rest I'll go now x
Interesting, however what about pain in knees and elbows? Also, If I weren't taking supplements and medication I'd score much higher. I've been crippled with lower back pain for ten days, have had intermittent joint pain for more than 15 years, Can't get a decent night's sleep without valerian root and even then it's a hit or a miss. I don't think this survey offers an accurate diagnosis. According to it I have fibro. Next week it might not or it might be more severe.
its a guide doctors use one simulair to diognose fibro
you get joint pain with fibro but it is normaly due to inflamation of the soft tissues around the joint rather then the actul joint it self .
Thanks tiwas..I've have one if these...we do think alike, I was just re reading my huge book..on Fibro..the Rhumo recommended I buy it about 10 yrs ago now..it's sooo comprehensive, if I was reading that the years I was just diagnosed.I reckon I would have been soo scared...but it cannot get worse..you either have it or you don't...so they say...could have fooled me...it's just that those different symptoms can just hit you out if the blue...but it is still Fibro...grrrr, hope your doing well..if you know what I mean...hard to imagine your discomfort..maybe you have posted earlier, I've just come on here, while I'm sitting with my circulation booster on...mmm if people could only see us sometimes at home...mm..be blessed have a great weekend..:-) xxx
If only..that magical tablet..wouldn't that be fantastic..be blessed and have a great weekend :-) xxx
Those Symtoms are listed in the Fibro book I have..do have a great weekend Bluesman..try anyway...love the blues if that's what your name is about..or it could be that your blue??? Be blessed Bluesman...:-) xxxx
iv had to circulation boosters and they both cause me to much pain to use thats how sensistive i am .
i am so tired now bu tunable to sleep has anyone got a sledge hammer .
My mother in law is too sensitive to use it too,not from Fibro though... but I really wouldn't function without it..it's sooo good for my muscles, poor you Tina...must be sooo hard not being able to sleep and to be soo stressed...it really magnifies our Symtoms ....hope you feel better real soon..be blessed Tina...hope you get slept soon..:-(
My pain is usually in the joints.
Love and play the blues. Maybe I could write a song about fibro 
Yes please, you should..there is enough of us around the world with Fibro...you would have a real hit..lol:-) xx. Make you 'could' be a must do...
its been 4/5am each morning before bed this past week and getting up at 9.30 am so i gues in a week or two i shall be hit with fatigue.and increased pain leval again
that would be good ,it certainly makes you feel blue somedays.
Have you managed the loo yet....poor you..it's soo hard when you can't get the sleep you need to feel a bit better.....really feeling for you Tina..:-) xxx. Be blessed, I am praying for you too..
Yay...come on Bluesman...go for it..:-) xxx
