Hello,

I am having all of the symptoms that are given for fybromyalgia, but, I have not been diagnosed with it. I am currently being treated for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (CPAP for the last 8 years confirmed with Sleep Study with MSLT), Mood Disorders/Depression, etc. Nothing is helping. I am in nearly constant pain (chest, hands, arms legs, feet, neck, head), I have constant itchy skin, numbness and extremely uncomfortable tingling in feet and hands, constant extreme fatique, inability to concentrate/think, speech impairments (intermittent), dizziness/disorientation, difficulty breathing, frequent constipation and IBS, etc. I had a complete cardiac and pulmonary workup which ruled out heart/lung issues. Lupus has been ruled out through blood tests: I had abnormal ANA at a titration of 1:80 that was homogenous, but, testing for specific ANA’s were all negative (by Rheumatologist). The current medications and and treatments are providing me almost no relief or help whatsoever. As a result, I just lost my job. I am unable to find anyone to help me. Could this test work on me to identify clearly whether or not fibromyalgia is my issue and perhaps help to guide treatment in a more helpful direction? Please Help!!!! mailto:gerald.edward.butler@gmail.com
