seekinginfo,
I agree with your text but would add the we sometimes mistake a differential diagnosis for a diagnosis.
There is theory in the research that with that imbalance of gut bacteria with IBS allows toxins to leak into the bloodstream causing the migrating pain of fibromyalgia. Whimsically's doctor is aware of the research https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/10/2594 and may see it evidenced in their practice. The diagnosis seems whimsical, but could prove a valuable awareness of possible connection.

@gently -

You have to know yourself best, in and out with confidence, before you ever enter a doctor’s office and communicate with them.

It is a partnership of thoughts and collaboration.

One needs to have an intuitive and confident side about them. And not be lead by a simple guess by another individual in a white coat.

It’s just a fact. As bold as it sounds. It’s fact.
