Can you have both polymyalgia and fibromyalgia?

I can't take those meds either so I'm stuck with an old treatment, low dose doxycycline. There is a blood test now for FM but doctors are still not using it because medical plans don't cover the test.
I think they prefer to hurt us, touch 1 of those spots on me and I collapse, but they want to find them all. My mother had polymyalgia but I don't know what it is. God bless you

What is the blood test that is given to diagnose fibromyalgia? I was just a participant in the fibromyalgia clinic at Mayo in December of 23. They did all types of tests and I had a complete blood workup, but it was not mentioned to me that there is now a specific blood test for FM.
