New Diagnostics for FIbromyalgia

This is a SUPER interesting article about the development of NEW standards for diagnosing fibro, and how if doctors are informed more doctors can diagnose, not just rheumotologists.  My tender point test was pretty inconclusive, but my rheumy doc was still convinced I had fibro. He is right, as according to these new standards, I am a typical case, all except for the tender points!

This is a very good step in a positive directionQ
