I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I am unsure how accurate this diagnosis is. My blood tests show low protein levels despite a high protein intake. My father had Addison?s disease, and I am worried that my symptoms and family history could indicate something more serious. Should I be concerned or seek further evaluation?
Have a query?
