A member asked:

With fibromyalgia is inflammation common. my blood test comes back with inflamation markers?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No.: Fm is a non inflammatory disease. Inflammatory markers indicate that something else is going on. This test does not mean that you do not have fm.

Never occurs: Fibromyalgia is not an inflammatory disorder. If your markers of inflammation are elevated, look for other causes.
