You could ask to be referred to a rheumatologist, who can check you for trigger points- doctors have a minimum number of these trigger points that have to be positive for pain for them to come back with a verdict of fibromyalgia.

He thinks that I have a virus with PERHAPS an underlying auto-immune disease. He put me on prednisone for the past 6 months but it does nothing for the fevers. I only get fevers upon exertion.

But when I became the age of 30 I started having problems with a lot of pain, fatigue and I had problems sleeping at night. I was dx with fibromyalgia, I also always had problems with allergies, I would constantly break out in hives.
