First I would like to say your partner is so lucky that you care. I don't really recall my first symptoms, it all happened rather slowly over time and involved many trips to my GP, on one such visit he had a new diagnostic tool all my symptoms were put in and fibro came up, an appointment with the Rheumatologist confirmed it, up until this point I had so many tests ruling out many conditions with similar symptoms so really it is a long process of elimination. That is how it was for me. I do hope you find answers you need . Lou x

Mine were intermittent pain in most of my body and I saw a private consultant and a chiropractor who both wrote to my GP saying Fibro. I want to wish you and your partner all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you
