43 Signs of Fibromyalgia You Should Be Aware Of!
Causes and Diagnosis
The precise cause of fibromyalgia is still not clear, so you can’t prevent it. You can only control it, of course, if you know that you have it in the first place.
Since no specific test can help doctors diagnose fibromyalgia, they ask their patients if they feel the below-listed symptoms.
Also, they use a number of criteria such as complete blood count, thyroid test, antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor, MRI, X-rays, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
If you have many of these symptoms, consult your doctor.
