hey guys-

someone that went to a recent course stated that apparently for "board purposes' the American College of Rheumatology changed the criteria for dx of FM. Instead of having 11 out of 18 tender points, reportedly now a patient just has to 'say they have 11 tender points".

Which sounds a little strange as it avoid 'objective' evidence.

Is this true? Any updated info? I tried googling w/o any success.
 
American College of Rheumatology just made another update - "Fibromylagia is not real"
