I just got “diagnosed” with it. They didn’t do a test, they just started with the antibiotic. Luckily, I think they were wrong and it was Sacroiliitis instead, which was a good thing because it goes away.
Calling things “Fibro” is not a good thing because it simply pushes the patient off without discovering the real problem. Many times, the patients end up with a real problem without a solution.
At one point I was diagnosed with Fibro. Turns out I had MS.
Sometimes I think it’s easier for the Dr. to just slap a diagnosis of Fibro on a patient than it is to get to the proper diagnosis.
