It cannot happen that you diagnose your problem on the basis of only one symptom (joint pain), as this symptom is common to a lot of other diseases as well. You cannot just diagnose fibromyalgia on the basis of this. In order to know if you have fibromyalgia, it is better to consult a specialist.
The specialist will analyze all your symptoms and examine 18 tender points in your body. Out of 18 tender points, a patient should have pain in at least 11 of these points to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Recently, this rule has been denied and a lot of doctors are not following it.
Moreover, a blood test has been developed to diagnose fibromyalgia and it is proved to be effective. But the main fact is that it is out of range of many people and many insurance companies haven’t covered it yet.
Also, it takes a lot of time to diagnose fibromyalgia. As doctors get confused about its symptoms because there are a lot of symptoms that seem similar to other disease’s symptoms. So, fibromyalgia often gets misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, depression, and also myofascial pain syndrome.
There are a lot of treatments for fibromyalgia and they vary a lot like the symptoms. Some medications have proved to be effective for fibromyalgia, as they help in alleviating pain. But, still, there is no cure for this condition.
Along with medication, a change in lifestyle is recommended by doctors and attending physical therapy too. Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation are also used by a lot of people with fibromyalgia because they think their pain gets reduced by it.
