  1. This analysis shows that the weighting of the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) closely approximates the given weight. The 'imbalance' observed in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) between function and symptom (7% and 74%) has been markedly improved in the FIQR (28% and 53%).
