Members shared mixed experiences when asked whether seeing a neurologist is helpful for fibromyalgia, with some finding their neurologist diagnosed them or provided valuable support, while others were referred back to rheumatologists or found pain management specialists more effective. Several members described frustrating encounters with dismissive or unhelpful doctors across both specialties, emphasizing that finding the right provider often feels like trial and error. A recurring theme was that success depends heavily on the individual doctor rather than their specialty, with many stressing the importance of advocating for yourself until you find a provider who listens, takes your pain seriously, and works collaboratively on your care.
