More Than Just Pain

Fibromyalgia Assessment & Management

A thorough, physiology-focused approach to complex, multi-system symptoms

Fibromyalgia is a challenging condition, not because patients exaggerate symptoms, but because the symptoms are real, multi-system, and often poorly understood. Many patients live for years with widespread pain, fatigue, cognitive difficulty and sleep disruption — often without satisfactory explanations or meaningful treatment.

At Rubicon Private Health, we follow a clinically rigorous, guideline-aligned approach: before diagnosing fibromyalgia, it is essential to exclude other medical causes that can mimic or worsen these symptoms. Only then can the diagnosis be made with confidence.

This is where many patients fall through the cracks.

When Pain Becomes Persistent

Our Approach: Thorough,
Evidence-Based, No Assumptions

NICE guidelines state that fibromyalgia is a clinical diagnosis of exclusion. In practice, this step is often rushed.

Many conditions can present exactly like fibromyalgia, including:

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Thyroid disorders
Sleep disorders
Anaemia and iron-related issues
Endocrine/metabolic imbalance
Low-grade inflammatory or post-infectious processes

These conditions do not always show up clearly on standard, minimal screening tests — yet each can produce fatigue, pain, “brain fog,” sensory sensitivity, sleep disturbance, mood symptoms and autonomic dysfunction.

At Rubicon Private Health, we do not rely solely on basic screening. We conduct a deeper assessment where clinically indicated.

Understanding the Full Picture

Why Deficiencies Are Often Missed

Patients are frequently reassured that “your blood tests are normal.”

However:

Reference ranges vary between laboratories
“Normal” does not always mean “optimal for symptom control”
Many ranges were never validated for neurological symptoms
Subtle patterns can be missed when results are viewed in isolation

We take the time to interpret your blood tests in context — symptoms, timeline, triggers, previous results, and clinical patterns. This is a fundamental part of identifying treatable contributors.

(This is where your true insight sits — but expressed safely, without saying fibro = B12 deficiency.)

Relief That Fits Your Lifestyle

Fibromyalgia Is Multifactorial — And So Is Our Assessment

We assess:

1. Pain, fatigue and sleep: How your symptoms interact, what worsens them, what helps.

2. Autonomic function: Light-headedness, temperature dysregulation, palpitations, gut symptoms.

3. Nutritional and metabolic contributors: Targeted blood tests to look for deficiencies that can mimic fibromyalgia.

4. Hormonal and thyroid balance

5. Sleep quality (including screening for sleep apnoea)

6. Post-viral or post-stress patterns

7. Medication effects and long-term interactions

8. Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis

This creates a whole-system picture rather than focusing on any single symptom.

What We Do NOT Do

Patients are frequently reassured that “your blood tests are normal.”

We do not dismiss your symptoms as “stress,” and we do not diagnose fibromyalgia without excluding other causes first.

We also avoid overpromising — fibromyalgia is a complex condition, and honest medicine is about clarity, not sales.

Your Personalised Plan May Include:

Treating identified deficiencies
Addressing sleep-related disorders
Physiologically targeted lifestyle strategies
Medication review
Pain and autonomic symptom management
Stress physiology interventions
Specialist referrals (if indicated)

Our goal is to reduce symptom burden, improve daily functioning, and give you a clear understanding of what is happening and why.
