Fibromyalgia Self-Test · ACR 2010 / 2011

Fibromyalgia
Self-Test.

A free, ACR-oriented fibromyalgia self-test (WPI & symptom severity). It helps assess whether pain distribution and symptom severity may fit a fibromyalgia-oriented pattern.

Fibromyalgia Self-Test – free online check

What this questionnaire measures

The check structures pain distribution, fatigue, sleep, and cognitive symptoms with an ACR-oriented WPI and symptom-severity logic.

When this questionnaire is useful

It helps when pain affects multiple body regions and the overall symptom pattern needs clearer structure before a clinician conversation.

What the result does not do

It does not confirm fibromyalgia, and it does not rule out other pain causes or urgent neurological warning signs.

Assessment criteria

What does it check?

ACR main criterion

Widespread Pain Index (WPI)

Counts painful body regions across 19 defined areas. A WPI ≥ 7 is one of the main ACR 2010 criteria.

ACR main criterion

Symptom Severity Scale (SS)

Rates severity of fatigue, sleep, and cognitive symptoms. An SS ≥ 5 combined with WPI ≥ 7 meets the ACR criterion.

Assessed domain

Fatigue

Persistent physical and mental exhaustion that is not relieved by sleep or rest.

Assessed domain

Sleep quality

Unrefreshing sleep, difficulty falling or staying asleep, as part of the symptom severity scale.

Assessed domain

Cognitive symptoms

Concentration and memory difficulties (fibro-fog) as part of the ACR symptom severity scale.

Supplementary criterion

Somatic symptoms

Additional symptoms describing overall symptom burden.

Headaches (≥ 3 months)
Abdominal pain / irritable bowel
Depressive mood

How it works

Purposeful, focused, clear

01 · Useful when

when pain occurs across multiple body regions
when fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, or concentration problems are also present
when symptoms need clearer structure before a clinician conversation

02 · Important limits

not a confirmed diagnosis and not a replacement for medical evaluation
not for acute, suddenly severe, or neurological red flag symptoms
not an exclusion of other pain causes

03 · After the result

interpret WPI and symptom severity together
discuss persistent or limiting symptoms with a clinician
if exertion worsens symptoms, also review PEM and ME/CFS context

Common questions

Everything
about the
check

Before you start – the most important answers at a glance.

No. The check can show a fibromyalgia-oriented pattern. Diagnosis requires medical assessment and exclusion of other causes.

The WPI counts painful body regions. The symptom severity score considers symptoms such as fatigue, sleep, and cognitive difficulties.

If pain, exhaustion, or sleep problems persist, worsen, or limit daily life, the result should be interpreted medically.

The WPI counts painful body regions. The Symptom Severity Score covers symptoms such as fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and cognitive difficulties.

No. An online check can structure pain distribution and symptom severity, but it cannot replace medical diagnosis or exclusion of other causes.

If symptoms worsen disproportionately and often with delay after physical, cognitive, or emotional exertion, PEM and ME/CFS context should also be reviewed.
