I'm currently being treated for Fibromyalgia as are some others here on the boards.It's also sometimes interlinked with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
It's defiitely not diagnosable by MRI, in fact there is no test to confirm Fibromyalgia,the gold standard as mentioned is the tender point test. You're usually "diagnosed" with it when tests fail to find any other specific reason for the baffling symptoms.
