4. Fibromyalgia Diagnosis too quick?

   sunny59 replied to bjpeace's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, that is pretty quick for a diagnosis. I hope you will encourage her to follow up with a second opinion or see a rheumatologist. I have fibro, took over a year of tests to come up with the...

    sunny59 replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing
