From the reading I have done, Fibro is a disease that falls under an umbrella of specialties. My dermatologist sent me to a rheumatologist for what he believed was psoriasic arthritis. The rheumatologist diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and treated me. When I moved to WA, the rheumatologist told me to have my primary care doctor continue the treatment after he verified the fibro diagnosis. But in all, some people see a neurologist and some see a sleep doctor (I have one of those too) depending on their symptoms. In the books I have found most helpful, the author (who was a med student when diagnosed herself and now has her own fibro clinic in OR) was diagnosed by her chiropractor. Sometimes you have to work with your primary care doctor to get to all the people you need to see based on your individual symptoms. And since so much about the disease is unknown sometimes you have to do your own research and use your findings to help your doctors know exactly whats going on. This is not something thats easy, but I wish you the best of luck finding a fit that works for you. ❤

I had a fantastic Family doctor who sent me to a Rheumatologist. Together they got me on a plan. Since moving to NJ, my family doc still follows that plan and like others my pain goes in cycles and it really does matter how much quality sleep you get.

I see a physiatrist. I don't have RA. My doctor specializes in chronic pain conditions. He is fantastic, I had a referral from primary doctor who did my initial diagnosis and this doctor confirmed and is supervising my entire treatment plan and pain management.

I would go to pain management doctor and let him decide if u need any of the other doesn't
