Fibromyalgia for Dummies is our go-to guide for starting out, and most importantly: RULE OUT everything else! Fibro's symptoms are the same as long Covid, some of MS, etc etc. So there's a lot to rule out before a diagnosis.

Yes and Lupus is another one that has similarities ! I get rechecked for lupus oncea year because of how severe my fibro is so often! My Dr says i seem to have MANY issuesthat those with lupus have and not normally with fibro but so far lupus is always negative! With my other pain issues though it makes it hard to pinpoint but my Dr wants to make SURE if i wouldhave something like lupus and she chekcs for MS etc that it would be caught early.

I pray your daughter finds out for sure what is going on and that treat ment helpsher! Alsofor you because i know from seeing my Mom with me itshard for a mom to see her child in pain!
