Question about fibromyalgia...Could I still have fibro?

Ok I saw a Rheumatologist on friday and he did the 'tender points' test on me or whatever. And then he said I have many symptoms/spots of fibro but that I don't meet all the criteria. Does this mean I could still have Fibro? Because I personally think I fit most of the symptoms pretty well. And all my tests are coming back normal. (Im a 26 yr old female) My vitamin D level is rather low. (Dr put me on 50,000 units once a week for 8 weeks).
I have widespread pain all over my body. I'm always tired. I've always been tired. I never ever feel rested after a nights sleep. I have many of the other symptoms including gastrointestinal(??) problems. If anyone can give me some insight i'd appreciate it thanks.

you don't need to meet the exact criteria to still have FMS--but many conditions are misdiagnosed as FMS--Vitamin deficiency, hormonal problems, lymes, MS, Lupus, depression etc.....if you have any of these--you most likely don't have FMS--especially once treated and teh symptoms go away

it is possible to have both--but FMS is highly over diagnosed by incompetant doc sho use it as a genral term for pain--

real fms is a neuro disorder

its possible your symptoms are from vitamin deficiency--and you need to give teh treatment time to work
