Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia, according to the American College of Rheumatology 1990 Criteria for the Classification of Fibromyalgia in the newly proposed criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia are 1) widespread pain in combination with 2) tenderness at 11 or more of the 18 specific tender point sites(a) as a result in responding to pressure.
Delay diagnosis
According to the King's College London," Patients wait a significant period of time before presenting to a physician, adding to the prolonged time to diagnosis. Patients typically present with a multitude of symptoms, all resulting in a delay in diagnosis and eventual management"(73).
In a questionnaire survey of 1622 physicians in six European countries, Mexico and South Korea including Specialties of primary care physicians (PCPs; n=809) and equal numbers of rheumatologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and pain specialists, 53% of physicians reported difficulty with diagnosing FM, 54% reported their training in FM was inadequate, and 32% considered themselves not knowledgeable about FM(74). The high percentage of difficult diagnosis and inadequate training may contributed the delay diagnosis and contributing to widespread unnecessary pain and significant impact on quality of life and function to patients with FM(75).

Dr. Clark P and colleagues at the Clinical Epidemiology Unit HIM-Federico Gómez Faculty of Medicine UNAM in the physician survey of fibromyalgia across Latin America and Europe,
said, "Patient and physician perspective concerning FM impact and disruption were often misaligned within the same region. Our observations may be representative of cultural differences in stoicism, expression, beliefs, and attitudes to pain perception and management. Better understanding of these complexities could help targeted educational/training programs incorporating cultural differences, to improve chronic care"(76).
