Has anyone tried the Fibromyalgia test from EpicGenetics?

I’ve been doing some research and apparently there’s a test for Fibromyalgia that’s done in California. It’s from EpicGenetics. Has anybody heard of this? I was wondering if I should do it but I don’t know if it’s legit. And I’m skeptical a little.

        @Sarahjean can you research and see what you can find out since you’re in the state? Let us know anything you can. Apparently anybody can get it done it’s just that the one lab that does it is in California.

      That’s how I found out about the test. When I go to the doctors rheumatologist neurologist they still had no idea there is a test.

        @Fibrofoggirl it can be any state from my understanding but the sample is shipped to a lab in California and that’s where they do it. I wonder why I haven’t heard any doctors using it. Never mentioned it.. I found it just researching

      It’s 💯 legit insurance covered mine and a nurse came to my house and took blood 2 weeks later I got the results 94% anything higher than 50% is fibro they check the proteins from your blood

        @Fibrofoggirl I saw that some insurances cover it but if not you have to pay $1k for the test.. I also saw that a nurse can come to you but I don’t have the $1k for the test at the moment… I’m definitely interested though

        @Fibrofoggirl so do they dispose of the extra, what if I don't live in CA?

      I've never heard of this, do they destroy your sample after processing it?
