I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has this problem and what your specific symptoms are. Was it difficult to be diagnosed. I am certain I have this, my sister has been diagnosed and she thinks I have this too. What do you look for and who specializes in the diagnosis of it(meaning what kind of specialist)?
Thanks

My fibromyalgia was diagnosed by an internist at the Mayo clinic where I had been referred by my (then) pdoc. I had been having persistent pain problems he had explained as side effects.
A rheumatologist can usually make the diagnosis if your family doc is unfamiliar with fibromyalgia. Quilter
