It is rarely a good idea to self-diagnose yourself. Doctors typically do not take it seriously. If you believe you have Fibromyalgia you should report your symptoms to your doctor and be fully evaluated. Once you have been diagnosed by a physician, if other doctors do not believe you, you will have medical records to show them.
