That is very interesting about the Fibromyalgia. They wanted to call my problem Fibromyalgia too but then it happened to be a thyroid issue. I personally think Fibromyalgia is actually a disease process. It’s actually a disease that has not gotten a diagnoses and they call it fibromyalgia. I have met alot of people with that diagnoses and many in later years develop the disease that was not diagnosed at first. Certainly not fun having lupus and a doctor tells you have fibro and you know darn well its lupus. LOL! I hate to say this but there are just too many people getting that diagnoses when it’s actually something else causing the problems. Not enough time these doctors spend on a patient also. No wonder so many aren’t diagnosed yet! I also think Fibro with CIDP is the first process of a disease trying to come out of the woodwork. Meaning you have reached two criterias of a certain diagnoses. Being watched by the doctor for another symptom to pop up. The more symptoms the more a diagnoses is made!
