How to diagnose fibro

Hi all

I have inflammatory arthritis and underactive thyroid both diagnosed 1.5 and 2 yrs ago.

I am suffering terrible fatigue and hurt all over my body. I spoke to my doctor today and discussed the long list of aches and pains but no obvious joint inflammation , and he suggested that I may be suffering from fibromyalgia.

I have booked in for blood test and gp says that if my crp levels are Not raised then we can discuss fibro further.

The question I have is if my levels are not raised how will the gp know if I do in fact have fibro???

Any advise will be wonderful.

Also what treatments are there for this condition. Or is it just a case of living with it and self help management.

Thank you

Regards
