I know you have been cleared of celiac (which is a darn good thing!), but up to 70% of folks with fibro find their symptoms lessen on a gluten-free diet. Is it something you might consider trying for 2 or 3 weeks, just to see if it works for you?
That might help fill the time until your next doc appts. (lots of gluten-free food info on the internet)
(I brought up fibro to one of my superiors in the clinic today, and he mentioned how fibro and celiac seem to be tied together somehow. So I did some literature searches during my lunch break, and the linkages are pretty fierce. They are NOT the same disease with the same chemical and immunological markers, but both respond to gluten in the diet. Celiac 100%, and fibro about 70% in fibro patients with gut issues and about 30% in fibro patients with no gut issues at all.)
