My fibro probably also started from a car accident - but the food allergies didn't help any either.

You can talk to your M.D., but it'll take a Rheumatologist to do it properly http://arthritis.about.co...

thanks elic. i went to that site and i did the quiz and 13 out of the 14 of the questions i answered are consistent with fibro, i just have a hard time talking to doctors about pain that just seemed to have all of a sudden appeared after a year and a half. but i guess i will have to huh

its better to get treated for the whole thing, rather than spot treated for years like I did.

If pain is your only symptom, then you probably don't have fibromyalgia. And if you haave pain from an accident, then you've had an injury or injuries that should have been attended to a long time ago. Fibro can be a result of long-term stress, but doesn't necessily come from one incident. See your doctor.

Fibro is tricky. But I agree with the earlier response. There are MANY symptoms associated. Try some medical sites for lists of symptoms to see if any of those fit. There is not true way to diagnose, so doctors are almost forced to used pain points, and a system of ruling out other possibilities. It took me many years to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the doctors are still not 100% convinced that it is not something else- still undergoing tests and trying new drug remmedies all the time. For me, the pain can come and go, but when it comes, it is VERY severe.
