What are Tests and Medications for Fibromyalgia?

Posted by Sundance(RB) @sundance6, Dec 28, 2020

I've had two different diagnoses over the last two years. One was for Lyme Disease which was diagnosed by sumptoms, the other for Fibromyalgia.
I've read everything on Lyme Disease. Lyme and Fibromyalgia are very close symptom wise. I have read where there are no tests and medications for Fibromyalgia. Messaged my PCP today and he says there is so such things.
I just ordered a book from Mayo on Fibro. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Sundance (RB)

I'm glad you found the information I presented helpful. I know it was a lot.

What are you thinking regarding specific next steps?

Erika, Just starting out exploraing Fibromyalgia! For the Last two years I have been researching Lyme Disease. Although I still believe Lyme is what I have, in reading, latest by a Dr. Rawls, and doing some Research I have decided to start looking into Fibromyalgia. I finally tracked down the doctor in my hospital system that gave my the Fibromyalgia diagnoses. Of course with the hospital system I belong to pushe me off back to my PCP. He recomended Cymbalta, Gabapsentin, and Lyrica, and "some others" as possible help!
Ronald posts have helped me in recomending some medication he has perscribed in his prcatice in the past!
I like to gather as many facts as possible to make descisions.
I run a full time business, so Suprisingly it has been busy the last couple of days so it should slow down in the next day or two.
I'll keep you posted!
I Thank You for all your Help! You are a Great Addition to MAyoConnect!
