Yorkie Kids,
My Dr. sent me to a rheumatologist and he was the one that DX'd my fibro. There are 18 trigger points they check for fibro. These trigger points, when presssure is applied, causes pain to the patient. Fibromyalgia causes wide spread pain in muscles, fatigue and impaired concentration. They can do blood work to check for arthritis but there isn't a blood test for fibromyalgia. I wish you the best of luck.
