Primary	Level of Covid-19 anxiety	It is evaluated by the Coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS). It was developed by Lee et al. and Evren et al. were made validity and reliability of this scale in Turkish. It is 5-items scale, and each item scores between 0-4. The total score (ranging from 0 to 20) is calculated by adding up each item score. The higher the score, the greater the anxiety associated with coronavirus-19. Level of Covid-19 anxiety will be compared between fibromyalgia and control groups.	15 seconds

It has 21 individual questions. All questions are based on an 11-point numeric rating scale of 0 to 10. It is divided three domains: function, over impact, symptoms. The summed score for function (range 0 to 90) is divided by 3, the summed score or overall impact (range 0 to 20) is not changed, and the summed score for symptoms (range 0 to 100) is divided by 2. The total score is the sum of the three modified domain scores, and total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate worse daily life.; Investigators will be analyzed the relationship between CAS, the fear Covid-19 Scale, and the FIQ.	15 seconds
