    Hi all,

    anyone out there suffering from that - and how did you deal with it? Was it difficult to get a diagnosis, were you taken seriously? How long did it take to actually get a diagnosis, how much of a runaround was it? (I've seen so many specialists, GPs, physios, Rheumatologists, etcetc, and it's expensive and frustrating...)

    My doctor has mentioned that I *could* have it (not sure yet, since tests don't really show anything, and I haven't done the trigger points test yet), but I'm waiting for some more exclusion tests by other doctors...I've read up on signs and symptoms, and it fits to the T - but it seems that doctors are very reluctant to actually diagnose it properly, rather dismissing all the symptoms as separate issues (for example, I have three herniated disks, chronic tendonitis, probably Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and a whole lot of other things wrong with me, and no isolated treatment has worked..;-)), and not looking at it as one whole illness causing all these smaller problems...

    PM me if you want - I'm just curious to see how others are doing!
