Fibromyalgia Blog

The aim of this blog is to find out more about the experiences (and stories) of people and the families of people who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The reason for this is the ambiguous attitude to the syndrome by physicians. Indeed a number of physicians consider the condition to be psychosomatic.

We would like to focus therefore on the story of the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. In particular we are interested in the following questions:-

• What symptoms did you exhibit before diagnosis? Had you previously been diagnosed with a trigger conditions such as Lyme’s Disease?
• What was your physicians’ attitude to your symptoms? Did you decide to change doctors?
• How would you like to see the diagnostic process improved?
• Finally if you have any advice for other patients or suggestions as to other resources please do not hesitate to add them to your blog comments.

Thanks very much in advance for your help. Please fell free to check back on the blog to see what other have said and perhaps contribute further thoughts.

I look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thanks very much for your help.

Best wishes

Belinda
