How Is This Okay?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went in for a medication follow up with my GP. I told him I had stopped taking naltrexone because it wasn't helping, and I had switched my gabapentin to night time only.

@A MyFibroTeam Member O no honey find a new doctor that one is a quack! It is hard to find a Dr that understands. When I met with mine I had so many questions I wrote them down and I talked to her for about an hour to see if she was a fit for me. I asked her would she work with me? If she believes that this is real and is a problem? Is she open to listening to my concerns? So far we have a good relationship. I think its because I went in there meaning business, there are plenty of doctors in the world but there is only one you and who you choose to provide care for you should do just that...care for you. So you take control ..good luck!

I've been told by doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rodchester Minnesota that there is NO CURE!!!

That's crazy! He obviously doesn't know this is a chronic disease. Maybe a new doctor? I am looking for another dr myself because she just wants to change meds all the time. I cannot function anymore and want to go on disability but she told me this is not a disabling condition!
