Sometimes a diagnosis is a trap.
You think you are working toward an end
only to find it was the wrong road.
So you have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. That seems clear enough, but did you know that your fibromyalgia symptoms mimic many other conditions that are not called fibromyalgia and are not treated in the same way?
Since there is no actual testing to verify fibromyalgia, as it is a condition rather than a disease, is important to clarify what your symptoms are actually saying. The body does not rebel for no reason. When it sends you a 911 it is important to listen. Your body is definitely screaming for help and the tough part is figuring out what it's saying..
These are just a few common conditions that mimic each other and could be misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia. I like to call them fibromyalgia-like.
