Most likely: ? if Rheumatologist diagnosed Fibromyalgia (FM) is this correct. FM was defined by a committee of Rheumatologists, who also determined the methods of diagnosis. Rheumatologists are experts at detecting sufferers with FM & differentiating them from other chronic disorders, which have similar symptom profiles. These medical specialists are also facile in use of "fibromyalgia medications".
