Diagnosing Fibromyalgia
Dr. Moises Lustgarten, Pain Medicine Physician with Baptist Health South Florida, says to diagnose fibromyalgia doctors should always gather a complete history, from the minute the symptoms started until today, and they should do an evaluation.
He also explains at the beginning of fibromyalgia they determine 18 points in the body that if they would apply pressure to them and get a certain number of positives, they will say it was fibromyalgia, but now patients have a multitude of other symptoms that have to be accounted.
