Yes ! This is a lab test (spinal fluid) that is still in the research phase, but apparently diagnosing both CFS & fibromyalgia patients. I know it is very expensive, but I think I read on their website that Medicare is covering it. (not sure if you have Medicare... but thought I would mention).
I just hope & pray that this test will be approved soon and insurance will cover it. We need this test to help validate these very real and sometimes disabling conditions.
7 centimeters below the foramen magnum. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2001. I have had problems with balance, coordination, ringing in ears, migraine and strange pressure headaches (sometimes in my jaw) starting inmy neck, virtigo, blurred vision, numb tingling feeling in fingers and occasionally blacking out or fainting plus nausea and vomitting. I am 45 and recently found out that I was asphyxiated at birth and the Dr. told my father that I may have problems later.
t think i have found a post that said HIV was rare in the USA. What I have found in previous posts was the doctors saying that hiv was rare in heterosexual women, rare in sex workers in America, or she probably don't have HIV or something like that. What im wondering is this, in that website that ww2008 sent me it says there are around 1,000,000 to 1,200,000 people living with hiv/aids in the US.
Participants completed a single-blind, crossover trial with the following time line: baseline (2 weeks), placebo (2 weeks), drug (8 weeks), and washout (2 weeks). PATIENTS: Ten women meeting criteria for fibromyalgia and not taking an opioid medication. INTERVENTIONS: Naltrexone, in addition to antagonizing opioid receptors on neurons, also inhibits microglia activity in the central nervous system. At low doses (4.
Now I have herniation in thoracic and lumbar with spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia. This neck surgery was the second in several years. You could also go to neurosurgeon that does backs. Most definitely go see a surgeon whether for surgery or pain management. I currently see a rehab dr for pain management. Drs have all said once you get a problem area in back it eventually causes problems in rest of back cause back is like a chain. If you weaken one link eventually they will all weaken.
I know within the USA the National Fibromyalgia Association has a list of doctors who treat Fibromyalgia in each state. You do have to sign up, but the sign up is free. Their website address is: http://www.fmaware.
You are correct in that statement about it saying made in Canada. It leaves us here in a tough situation. For example, something can be made in China, but if a component of it (doesn't necessarily have to be the majority of it), or the packing (think Cereal) was made here, they can label it Made In Canada. Pretty wrong isn't it. It makes me so mad. There is legislation out there to enforce more accurate labeling, but so far our Congress hasn't done a darn thing about it.

I've read articles written by Dr. DeMeirleir in the past. If I remember right, he is the founder of Red Labs, USA (now called VIP dx).... and if I'm not mistaken, he was the first physician who came out with a lab test on spinal fluid that could diagnose fibro or CFS. He also recognizes mycoplasma infections in two-thirds of fibro and CFS patients....
I had mine a little over a year ago to rule out any other causes for my muscle pain. My biopsy came back normal: no inflammation, which supported the earlier Dx of Fibro.
There is no clear test for fibro - all they can do is rule out everything else they can think of that is causing your symptoms.
Good luck.
My name is Donna and I am 51 years old, 12 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I trusted what I was told and over the years have taken nearly every kind of anti-depressant known, all with awful side effects, much worse than the pain I was feeling. As the years have passed I have become more and more convinced that I was mis- diagnosed. When giving my symptoms to Dr.
