Failing to correctly diagnose or delaying treatment for a debilitating illness is likely to lead to increased levels of pain and suffering. Conditions like Fibromyalgia that can cause chronic pain are best treated when they are diagnosed early. Anyone who suffers from Fibromyalgia that was initially misdiagnosed may have grounds for a claim for medical negligence. If you feel that you have been the victim of a misdiagnosis for Fibromyalgia we are here for you.

What are the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia and How do I Get Diagnosed?

Fibromyalgia is a condition that has no definitive cause. However it is thought that the condition is a combination as well as environmental stimulus. While both men and woman can be affected by the condition, it is more likely to show up in females. While there is no definitive guide when it comes to diagnosing Fibromyalgia, there are a number of tell tale symptoms. These Include:

Morning Sickness
Headaches and Migraines
Insomnia
Increase bowl movements or constipation
Tingling in the limbs
Restlessness in the legs
Loss of memory
Increase agitation

While the symptoms listed above are the ones most commonly associated with Fibromyalgia it is possible other issues could arise. If you believe you may be suffering from Fibromyalgia it is imperative that you seek a diagnosis from a medical professional such as a doctor or a nurse.

Can Fibromyalgia Be Misdiagnosed?

Due to the fact that it has multiple symptoms and that they overlap other conditions means that misdiagnosis can occur. Because of it’s complex nature more serious conditions may be downgraded and misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia. When this happens it can lead to incorrect treatments which can result in that condition becoming more serious and prolonged. Some of the other conditions that may be diagnosed as Fibromyalgia include:

Hypothyroidism
Sleep Apnea
Rheumatoid Arthritis

Lupus
Malignancy
Lyme Disease

The similarity of symptoms is one of the main reasons why the conditions listed above can often be misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia.

When Should You File a Fibromyalgia Compensation Claim?

Any successful claim for Fibromyalgia misdiagnosis compensation, must prove that a doctor, nurse or any other medical practitioner was given adequate information to correctly identify the condition. If all the relevant information was provided and the diagnosis is proven to be incorrect you may have grounds for a claim.
