A member asked:

Are most doctors familiar with an fm/a blood test? how accurate is it? is it worth asking my doctor about if exhibiting fibromyalgia symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not familiar: Have no knowledge of any existing blood test for fibromyalgia, which, to my experience, is a clinical diagnosis only, at this point. Do discuss with your doctor, as there may be a research center doing work on this subject.
