hi ,

I am just asking those with a diagnoses of Fibro

Do you have sensitive reflex ?

or have some got no reflexes at all ?

How was your diagnosis made? What tests did they send you for?

And who actually gave you the diagnosis?

Thanks

not aware that reflexes have anything to do with fibro and do not feature as part of the deprecated tender point test or the ACR 2016 diagnostic criteria.

I was diagnosed with the tender point test as it was late 2000s. Had blood tests, physical exam. GP and consultant assessment to confirm.

Testing reflexes is easily done by your GP/any consultant worth their salt, a physio, etc. to see whether they indicate certain neurological/neuromuscular problems. As mentioned, having an increased or exaggerated/decreased or difficult to elicit reflex isn't any part of the criteria looked at with fibro.

I’ve never heard of testing for your reflexes to do with Fibromyalgia, but perhaps some other people may have. I was diagnosed by a rheumatologist as I have other conditions as well as fibromyalgia.

Not what you're looking for?
