My wife has fibromyalgia and believe me if you have it you KNOW you have it.
Point being that you need to be referred by a gp to a consultant (usually a rheumatologist).
To me it doesn't appear to be fibromyalgia if you are only having that one symptom but you best go to the gp/consultant anyway.
I was thinking if he has ruled out everything else it is one of those things that are left.I have had FM for nearly 20yrs so best wishes to your wife
See your point. Hope you're having a "not as bad" day. BTW I think you mentioned a while ago to me about gabapentin/pregabalin in some other thread, she's tried both now and is established on the latter so thanks for the heads up!
My Mrs has had this for over ten years now, and the bad days far outweigh the good.
She's on so many fucking tablets that she rattles.
