Hi Darlia,
This has been an on-going discussion among the medical community. I've suffered from Fibro for over 30 years!

There are still some old-fashioned docs who don't believe this even exists. There are people out there who are disabled from this when they are inflamed. When I tried to get a disability policy, I was told this is an autoimmune disorder and could not get coverage. Funny, people with heart disease, diabetes and cancer can (although they pay through the nose), but I couldn't.

I have Fibro and just got my lab test back. My test for autoimmune (ANA) was negative. Now waiting for my test for PFAS (with levels). I have a bad feeling that this will be what I expect since we are inundated with plastics and chemicals from everything we eat and do. I was just reading that PFAS is also in the Scotch Guard that I sprayed all over my recliner years ago.
Quest Diagnostics Labs allows you to order these two tests without a script. The PFAS results will take 2 or 3 days to get back. I have ordered a water filtration system. I can only reduce my intake of PFAS. I don't think there is any way to get it out of your body.
