How does a doc diagnose fibromyalgia?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It's time consuming.: Fibromyalgia should be diagnosed only by ruling out every other cause for your pain.

Multifactorial: FM "umbrella label" for several disorders, each defined by unique & distinct set of identifiable causal factors. Disorders with this label share similar symptom constellation. Unifying symptoms are chronic widespread pain, non-restorative sleep, depression & cognitive disarray. Causal factors include femaleness, childbirth, joint hypermobility, obesity, biomechanical injury & prolonged inactivity.
