What is the best way to go about getting a diagnosis of FM? What kinds of tests need to be done, and what are they looking for? What else does one need to know if they suspect they have FM and would like a diagnosis?

Thanks!

In order for you to get a diagnosis they must first rule out every other possiblility. There are many conditions that produce the same symptoms. They will do many blood counts, sed rates, urinanalysis, x-rays, etc. If every single thing is negative and nothing else could possibly be wrong with you then and only then will they consider FMS>
