Hello Lakshmi!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

I would like to directly review your performed test reports, in order to be able to give a more professional opinion.
Fibromyalgia does not cause limb or joint thinning. A peripheral neuropathy can lead to such clinical situation.
I would also recommend performing inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate), vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
