Overview

Fibromyalgia must be differentiated from other diseases that present with pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance, and symptoms of cognitive dysfunction and psychiatric disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, chronic fatigue syndrome, spondyloarthritis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.[1][2][3][4][5]

Differentiating Fibromyalgia from other Diseases

Fibromyalgia must be differentiated from other diseases that present with pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance, and symptoms of cognitive dysfunction and psychiatric disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, chronic fatigue syndrome, spondyloarthritis, and polymyalgia rheumatica.[1][2][3][4][5]

Disease Differentiating signs and symptoms Diagnostic findings
Fibromyalgia
  • All lab tests are normal
Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Markers of systemic inflammation (ESR, CRP) are typically elevated.
SLE
Chronic fatigue syndrome Fatigue plus 4 of the following symptoms:
  • Diagnosis of exclusions
  • Symptoms must present for more than 6 months
Spondyloarthritis
Polymyalgia rheumatica
Osteoarthritis
  • Localized joint pain
  • Restricted to affect joints
  • Older at onset
  • X-ray of the involved joints demonstrate degenerative changes
Hypothyroidism
  • TSH is elevated and free T4 is low.
