Understanding Your Results

The Fibromyalgia Panel includes autoimmune, inflammatory, thyroid, and nutritional markers. Abnormal values should be correlated with clinical symptoms. Elevated ANA, RF, or CRP may suggest alternative inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, while normal results do not exclude fibromyalgia.
📊

Positive titre may suggest autoimmune connective tissue disease; clinical correlation is required.

📊

Elevated RF may indicate rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorders.

📊

Elevated CRP suggests systemic inflammation and may point to an inflammatory alternative diagnosis.

📊

Abnormal TSH can indicate thyroid dysfunction, which may mimic fibromyalgia symptoms.

📊

Elevated CPK may suggest muscle damage or myopathy requiring further evaluation.

📊

Low selenium may be seen in nutritional deficiency and requires dietary or clinical assessment.

📊

Positive IgG indicates past exposure to CMV; it is not diagnostic of active fibromyalgia.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a physician or rheumatologist if you have persistent widespread pain, severe fatigue, sleep disturbances, or abnormal panel results, or if symptoms worsen despite initial management.

Limitations

  • Not a stand-alone diagnostic test for fibromyalgia
  • Biomarkers may be normal in some patients with fibromyalgia
  • Elevated markers may be due to conditions other than fibromyalgia
  • Reference ranges are method- and laboratory-specific

Risks & Considerations

  • Mild pain or discomfort at the venipuncture site
  • Minor bruising
  • Rarely, light-headedness or dizziness during sample collection

Interfering Factors

  • Gadolinium or iodine containing contrast media within 96 hours
  • Recent infection or vaccination
  • Certain medications may affect thyroid, inflammatory, or autoimmune markers
  • Haemolysis or lipaemia of the sample
