Diagnosis
There is no obvious, objective method for diagnosing fibromyalgia. The criteria used for studying fibromyalgia are very helpful, particularly if the patient does not have any accompanying disorder, such as depression or arthritis, which could complicate the diagnosis. Failure to meet the criteria, however, does not rule out fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia should be suspected in any patient with muscle and joint pain when no identifiable cause has been found.
