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.
