Found this article on FB today-new test for Fibro?

This article talks about a new test for Fibro. It measures your chemokines and cytokines. Of course the cost is very high, and out of reach for most of us.

Hi Robin,

True but it's good to know that more and more research is being done on fibro. So even if we can't necessarily benefit from the test today, tomorrow could be another story. And at least, finally, there is some measurable proof that fibro exists!!!

99% accurate and not covered by most insurances? How appalling!

So fibro shows a weakened immune system, my autoimmune diseases throw the immune system in hyper-overdrive, and the Enbrel slows the immune system! Imagine the constant battle going inside of us! NO WONDER WE ARE EXHAUSTED!!!!

Oh for sure it is promising for tomorrow, for the next generation, this will be an acceptable part of the diagnosis process, most likely. It will make it easier for the next generation. Hopefully genetic research and testing will continue to take huge leaps in diagnosis and care! We are actually watching the progress being made! I have seen so much of it over the years that all of our bright people here have brought to our attention!

Thanks for posting this, Robin! It's a great article!
