the explanation could of been wrote in double Dutch !!
iv rang hospital and nobody there knows anything either?
its like its wrote in a secret language
at least thankyou for trying 👍
i haven’t got a clue about all these markings.
due to the markups I don’t know the level of my fibromyalgia ? I just know I can’t stop falling asleep !!
I have reviewed the link provided.
These are all US based pain score studies, in the UK they should be considered, with caution.
I have assumed that you have undertaken the assessment, as part of a Pain Management Programme.
If that is the case, then the results should have been explained to you both in detail.
If proper feedback is not provided to patients, then the quality of such assessments, should be called into account.
Best wishes
until I got my report back on Wednesday.
i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia!!
this didn’t even go through my mind ? didn't even know what it was?
she didn’t say anything about the pain clinic as I’m already under a pain specialist for my back.
defo haven’t got a clue about all these number !!!
Who was the female that conducted your assessment?
How on earth she comes to such a conclusion, based on a US dodgy study.
Perhaps you might wish to consult your GP, with your assessment report, to see if he/she can explain it further.
Keep us informed.
she was a rheumatologist consultant.
she didn’t come to the conclusion about dodgy us study ??
she examined me and asked questions about my health ?
