    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 lol.  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
