Members shared varied experiences about which type of doctor they see for fibromyalgia treatment, with some finding success through neurologists who finally diagnosed them after years of confusion, while others work primarily with their family doctors, rheumatologists, or pain specialists. Several members described frustration with doctors who over-prescribed medications or dismissed their concerns, leading some to explore alternative approaches like chiropractors specializing in fibromyalgia or attempting to manage symptoms naturally. A recurring theme was the challenge of finding the right provider who listens and offers personalized care rather than simply prescribing pills, with many members still searching for that ideal combination of support.

I'm only 3 months into my diagnosis, so the Philosophy of Care Specialist is new to me. I'll have to check that out. I like my neurologist; just want to be sure I'm in the best place.

After doing research for one year I am looking into a "Philosophy of Care" Specialist. I have my first appointment tomorrow. Maybe I can finally get some control.

Went to the philosophy of Care doctor and left frustrated. Didn't. want to hear what I had to say and started prescribing pills which is what I don't want. she mentioned physical therapy. I have decided to take this journey on my own. maybe I should keep a journal to help others that want to manage fibromyalgia naturally.
