Understanding Fibromyalgia: A Closer Look at the 2016 Diagnostic Criteria
Join us for a special live chat with the Trudy Flynn, Chair of Fibromyalgia Association Canada and Sherry Wasdal, Vice Chair of Fibromyalgia Association Canada, as we dive into the 2016 diagnostic criteria tool for fibromyalgia — a resource that can make a real difference in how quickly and accurately this condition is identified. Fibromyalgia remains one of the most misunderstood and under-diagnosed chronic conditions, with many patients waiting years for an answer. In this session, we'll break down how the tool works and how it can be used in two important ways: by patients who suspect they may have fibromyalgia and want a starting point for a meaningful conversation with their doctor, and by healthcare providers across Canada who need a clear, evidence-based framework to help confirm a diagnosis. Whether you're living with unexplained symptoms or you're a clinician looking for practical guidance, this chat is designed to demystify the process and help close the gap on diagnostic delay. Bring your questions — we want this to be a conversation that helps the whole community.
