What are the symptoms of Fibromyalgia? Can my doctor do a test?

There is no blood test available, so doctors rely on locating pain points on the body.
Fibromyalgia would be a potential diagnosis if more than 11 of these points are painful when pressed.

Widespread pain and stiffness in the muscles, poor sleep, headaches and IBS are the chief symptoms people report.
