Health check for Fibromyalgia patients

Living with the pain and fatigue of Fibromyalgia is a daily struggle.

The WebMD health check - Fibromyalgia Assessment - can help by:

• assessing your symptoms 
• offering you treatment options 
• helping those who are not yet diagnosed. 

So it can give you tips to help you cope with fibromyalgia and the good thing is that it is free and a simple online questionnaire.

You are rated on your health, well being and symptoms.

You receive information on medications available and ways to change your habits to decrease your pain. While the answers are quite a generalised response I feel that it is good especially if you are just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, or unsure if you have Fibromyalgia or just want to check that there is not something else you could be doing to help yourself feel a bit better.

Start here.

WebMD wants you to know that their tool does not provide medical advice. It is intended for informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking treatment because of something you have read.
