I've been busy researching today.

Here's another article on the "$700 blood test."

http://americannewsreport.com/nationalpainreport/new-fibromyalgia-blood-test-is-99-accurate-8821072.html

Even though it says that it has been compared to people with lupus and RA, personally I'd like to know what it who look like in people who are supposed to have both.

Here is an interesting interview with the developer of the test.

This isn't the same as the test by bladder veterinarian.

Very interesting and promising! I hope this becomes more standardized and recognized by more doctors. The wheels turn very slow in the science community! With the level of closed minded bigoted doctors out there,it is a wonder they discover anything of interest. It is always hopeful to see research scientists thinking out of th box!
I read the control study, it seems to have validity. Of course it will take some time for it to Get traction as a mainstream test. I am thinking they are very near by me, in Santa Monica... I will bring this study to my Specialist at Holtorfmedical and see what they think. I am sure they are looking into it, they are always on the cutting edge ... ;0)
Thanks for posting!
