Blood tests for Fibromyalgia?
www.autoimmune.com/FMLetterMay99.html The discovery of the new antibodies in many FM patients is the first hard evidence that an immunological response is under way in these patients. FM patients can't "imagine" antibodies into existence, and the presence of the new antibodies does not correlate with the existence of other diseases, so the antibodies in the FM patients' blood serve as an objective laboratory marker for fibromyalgia and demonstrate that FM is a "real" disorder that involves a physiological disease process. |

NZ, most CFS sites believe that too, just different
levels of the illness. Either that or the triggers
[constant duress/stress], are causing both
illnesses.

Is the Test
Available Yet?
At present, any physician in the U.S. or any other country may order the APA Assay from Autoimmune Technologies to determine if a patient's blood contains anti-polymer antibodies, although it remains the responsibility of the physician ordering the APA Assay to decide how to make use of the results of the test in his or her investigation into the patient's condition. In the United States, a combination of U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations and patent laws prohibit any other labs from conducting the APA Assay until it has been put into a portable kit format and the diagnostic value of the kit and the information that the APA Assay conveys about anti-polymer antibodies has been approved by the FDA. Such a test kit is now being developed by Autoimmune Technologies. In most European and other countries the physicians make their own determinations of the diagnostic values of such tests, and the test kit will be made available in those countries as soon as it is ready. |
