Question misdiagnosed fibromyalgia? So I was told by some people as many times fibromyalgia is used as a diagnosis when doctors have no idea what is wrong with you just as you have chronic pain, but they cannot seem to understand. I understand that Fibro is a real thing, but I wonder if it is used in cases that do not fit within the loose definition and / or often later found something else. I am looking for what others have heard or experienced on the subject.
Yes, it is often discovered something else ... I know more people who were with him that misdiagnoised actaully have it and it is very frustrating for those of us who really seem to have ...
Most docs are just idiots who do not want to be disturbed ... They give candy Luc label - even people who seem to have another condition]
for example - people have inflammation - there is no inflammation with FMS .... However, the doc diagnosed with FMS
Source (s):
even 2-3 opinions are not good enough - as most of these idiots LL likelya re docs - you must be sure the doc knows what fms

"Misdiagnosis of fibromyalgia and chronic nonspecific pain
Dr. James Richardson noted in an editorial in American Family Physician in January 2005 that "Until vitamin D deficiency is quite severe, adults who are deficient in vitamin D may have chronic pain and weakness of lower limbs. In fact, women who are deficient in vitamin D are often misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia or even somatization syndromes. "Add to that what the authority Michael Horlick wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2004 that" over 90% of the 150 (people) who presented with muscle aches and pains nonspecific bone pain and a Minnesota hospital were found to be vitamin D deficiency.
