Chinese Acupuncturist - #17 on 10th . (Sleep & +25% GABA helping.)
As she started today by talking about how patients need to make decisions what is helping them best, I brought up the subject of now reducing sessions to once a week, which she gladly took that idea up.

Development
’Research’ today:
Looking further what the ACR criteria are saying in the part of the introductory article that is publicly available 2016 Revisions to the 2010/2011 fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria - ScienceDirect
WPI + SSS = FS, fibromyalgia severity, since 2011.
The definition of fibro was changed in 2010/2011 to put more focus on the other symptoms apart from pain, but not too much, and of course for the better.
The revision 2016 combines 2010 and the revision 2011.
Have shown themselves helpful for clinic and research.
“The 2011 criteria also introduced a fibromyalgia severity (FS) score—the sum of the WPI and SSS—which permitted a quantitative measurement of the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms.”
“Both the 1990 and the 2010/2011 criteria separate cases and non-cases based on severity.” - so that means fibromyalgianess was considered since then.
“The 1990 criteria require the presence of widespread pain (4-quadrant pain), but once that is present, all persons with ≥11 tender points satisfy the fibromyalgia criteria.”
“A second major factor in any disagreement between the 1990 and 2010/2011 criteria is that the 2010 criteria deliberately altered the definition of fibromyalgia slightly by explicitly giving more emphasis to symptoms by the use of the SSS. Thus, in evaluating external data that includes the 1990 criteria, a level of 85% agreement, as observed in the 2010 study [2], can be interpreted as very close agreement.”
“In accordance with ACR criteria committee’s recommendation in 2010 regarding external validation and intermittent updates, the purpose of this report is to evaluate published data relating to external validation of the 2010/2011 criteria, examine published and unpublished problems with the criteria, and to update the criteria to address problems that have been noted. In addition, we further propose to combine the 2010 and 2011 criteria sets and clarify definitions that would enable the combined 2016 revision to function as diagnostic and classification criteria.”
“With more than 5 years of experience, the 2010/2011 criteria have been shown to be useful and valid in multiple settings. We have now combined the ACR 2010 criteria set and the 2011 modified criteria into a single set of dual purpose criteria (2016 modified criteria—Table 4). These criteria can continue to serve as diagnostic criteria when used in the clinic, but also as classification criteria when used for research.”
