Can fibromyalgia be diagnosed with any type of blood test?
No, there is no blood test to make a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Doctors routinely order lab work to ensure that you do not have other medical disease like lupus, arthritis, cancer or heart disease. Some patients with fibromyalgia do have elevations in ESR but this test is very non-specific and not indicative of fibromyalgia.
