Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for reverting back.
Well going through all the history that you have provided there is a strong possibilIty of underlying CTD that is connective tissue disease of which Lupus and sjogrens syndrome remain the main differentials .
I note that you have been labelled as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue but unless and otherwise we have ruled other organic cause like lupus by serological testing its not appropriate .
Anyways you need to get CBC , ESR , S. albumin, globulin , ANA - IFA , ENA profile , Schirmers test for tear secretion testing . First we will need all these tests , if we have a positive indicator in these then we will advise you for further testing .
Any further queries you are welcome to ask.
