Fibromyalgia: Fm is a generalized systemic condition that is characterized by widespread aching or pain throughout the body, notably in the weight bearing muscles. To be included in the diagnosis of fm, this pain should be located in at least three out of four quadrants of the body or along the entire spine, and must be present for a minimum of three months. Hope it helps.

Yes: Fibromyalgia has specific diagnostic criteria although no specific test can be done. Pain above and below the waist, tender points in muscles, fatigue & sleep problems and memory problems must be present. The other conditions will be variable but all may be present in fibro patients. Associated problems include TMJ, IBS, mood disorders, dysmenorrhea, migraines, interstitial cystitis.
