A member asked:
Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2007, but not all my symptoms fit (such as temporary paralysis), could i have been misdiagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibromyalgia: Rheumatologic conditions such as fibromyalgia are often diagnoses of exclusion meaning that a lot of other things have been ruled out and this is what's left. If you are not satisfied then seek a second opinion.
