Abstract
To examine the long term prognosis in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). Forty five of 70 patients who had participated in a three week trial six years earlier completed again the same questionnaires used previously. Most symptoms had remained stable. Pain had increased, but some aspects of quality of life had improved over time. Symptoms of FM persisted over the six years, but patients appeared better able to cope with them.
