The doctor was POSITIVE that I had a thyroid problem. When all 3 pages of medical testing came back negative she said she suspected fibromyalgia, because it is an illness by exclusion. That means that there is no real definitive test for it.....once you rule out everything else it could be what you are left with is fibromyalgia. Also the info she gave me says that it is a " cousin " to chronic fatigue syndrome. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
