Diagnosis inquiry

Posted by nahlamousa @nahlamousa, Feb 25, 2022

Hi,
My brother is 55 years old
He suffers from widespread pain and burning all over his body (always shown as episodes) and pain in the four limbs , redness in the eyes .
He did a lot of blood tests (but results where normal; for instance no vitamin d deficiency and rheumatoid factor was normal ..) , he also did x ray to check the glands but everything was normal .
He was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, so he started taking antidepressants and analgesics… but the case is getting worse and the pain is getting back….
So could you please advise
Thanks
