SSR 12-2p discusses the acceptable methods for diagnosing fibromyalgia, including a tender point examination or using the 2010 ACR Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria showing all three of the following: 1) widespread pain, 2) six or more symptoms or co-occurring conditions related to fibromyalgia, and 3) evidence that other conditions that could cause these symptoms were excluded. Such evidence may include lab testing for rheumatoid arthritis, or MRI and X-ray testing for degenerative conditions that could account for the fibromyalgia pain.
