From misdiagnosis to recovery: An integrative, deprescribing-led approach to fibromyalgia presenting as chronic widespread pain in an older adult

This case highlights fibromyalgia as an important diagnostic consideration in older adults presenting with chronic widespread pain and polypharmacy. Deprescribing may function as both a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in such contexts. Integrative, patient-centered care may provide supportive benefit following medication rationalization. Although causal inferences cannot be drawn from a single case, this report underscores the value of reflective clinical reasoning and individualized integrative strategies in the management of fibromyalgia in complex geriatric settings.
