Fibromyalgia screening test is 14 questions long. Gives you a percentage of probability for having fibromyalgia.
I tested 12/14 and 86%. I haven't had the pressure point test. I also have pain that migrates but is also widespread so I answered moves around instead of widespread.
What's your score?

Edited to add in subject that it is a screening quiz;)
My score was the same as yours, but of course symptoms of Lupus etc are very alike to Fibro.
Both of those often go along too.
And I know I have many chronical issues, such as pain, headaches, fatigue.
Yes, mine were the same too!

I dont believe in fibro,, I think its a subset of some kind of neuropathy thats just plain painfull,, Fibro to me means theres a good chance of sending it in remission,, just look at the lady in the commercial for that med for fibro,, she looks pretty good,, oh wait,, shes a actress,, I am so dumb,

Apparently they got rid of the sensitive points as criterion recently.
I scored 93%. I have seen 2 different Rheumy's and neither one even suggested that I might also have Fibromyalgia. I think that I will ask at my next appointment.
100% No surprise; this was the diagnosis from PCP and rheumy.
86%

I got 100% But I was diagnosed with Fibro 2 yrs ago. but I wanted to see if this turned out the same or not. You can test a good portion of your pressure points yourself if you go to a chart and then lightly press on those points. Even though they have a blood test now to diagnose Fibro it is not 100% foolproof. mine came back in consistent. even though I have been diagnosed by my own doc and my Rheumy. a lot of medical people are not happy about the new test because they said a lot of people with Fibro are now going to fall by the wayside because although they have the pressure points, its not valid anymore. So they said many people now will go either misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. My Doc and Rheumy are still believers in the pressure points test. So am I. I have 16 of the 18 points positive.
Mine is now 13/14 and 93%...still have to say no to the pressure points cuz doc hasn't examined me;)
You answered 12 items out of 14 which may be associated with the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Your score is 86%.
