I just got off the phone with Dr. Bruce Gillis from the fibromyalgia testing company. He was completely open to answering any questions about my test.

A score of 55 means I have FM, but the white blood cells the test is run on change every 7 days. Also FM fluctuates, and apparently that number rises as symptoms get worse. Dr. Gillis is adamant that the test is diagnostic, and is accepted as proof of illness for disability claims in the US. Which I don't need, but that's interesting.

We talked about my raw data, and I can't explain why it wouldn't be useful to me anyway. But I'm satisfied about that - that it wouldn't do me any good.
