Broad variety, as you say, and it depends on what's available/legal and what insurance covers. But I'm no medical specialist, I simply helped someone close cope through every step, from the initial confusion at their body, through the lengthy misdiagnoses, and trying different medication over years. This summer they finally found a great fit, enough to prompt the occasional spontaneous "I'm feeling so well", when they realize that at times all symptoms are gone.
I wish it can happen to you.

For sure, it's not a diagnosis that's handed out lightly.
I definitely recommend seeing a doctor once in a while, as fibromyalgia sufferers respond differently to the variety of appropriate medication, and can even respond differently as years go by. Getting the right medication is life-changing.

Fibromyalgia causes "brain fog": you have a hard time focusing and your memory is unreliable. You find ways to cope but it never completely goes away.
Fibromyalgia also causes fatigue and outright pain, which can become unbearable if not medicated.

They're asleep right now, but that I remember, they did have to meet a specialist, either a neurologist or a rheumatologist.
