    Hi Kerry I've been suffering for about a year now with the feeling of pressure in my face but my doctors always brush it off and say my sinuses are playing up and I'm put on a course of antibiotics but they never seem to clear it. I'm yet to be diagnosed with FM even though I have all the symptoms. If you don't mind me asking how did they find out you had FM X

      I was referred to a rheumatologist after seeing a neurologist and all coming back fine! The rheumatologist done blood tests and a scan and they come back normal apart from inflammation in the bursa in my shoulders! He basically said that because all tests were normal and the fact that I have so many other conditions that come into fibro like anxiety,depression,ibs,tmj,insomnia,coeliac that he was able to make the diagnosis!

    Hello,

    Just happened across this forum as I search for comparisons in my own quest for a diagnosis. I too am having similar symptoms and my new gp has mentioned not only fibromyalgia but tmj and multiple sclerosis. My old gp said

    it was likely anxiety. Hence old gp.

    I find it interesting that so many agree that fibromyalgia can feel one sided. I asked my gp that very question and he said it would not be.
