Just curious to know your thoughts about this? I saw my first patient who says he has been approved for the test (not ordered by me), although has not had it done yet. I was not aware of it previously. I am not sure that it would change my management of this patient. I suppose whether or not it is helpful may depend in part on how he feels about the result.

SSS/WPI/Not explained by other condition.
Blood test not mentioned.
Sounds like a way to exploit the needy for $$$.

In a sea of skeptics, this physician was one of fibromyalgia patients' few true allies. Or was he?
EpicGenetics promoted its blood test as a gateway to a Massachusetts General Hospital clinical trial of a possible fibromyalgia treatment. But the trial never got started.

Not just a scam, will make prognosis worse as they latch onto a nonsense blood test 'proving' their disease.

There are treatments in development. Hope is on the horizon.

How come BCBS covers this but denies ONB/SI joint RFA?

American College of Rheumatology can have another meeting in Hawaii to discuss, just like they did when they came up with the 11 of 18 tender points. Reminds me of Robin Williams talking about the invention of golf.
