How can we have a clearinghouse for Drs. Who don't listen to us or think it's all in our heads. We should keep a running list so we can avoid those Drs and not waste time!
I think it would be easier to keep a list of the good drs. All others should be considered ignorant. The list of bad drs would be never ending!
What if we did the opposite? We should start to list those doctors that believe in us in the provider area. This way if a name is not in it, we proceed with caution. Hugs
I think only putting the ones that knowledge fibromyalgia and willing to help. Should be a better list to do. Let's keep positive and stay positive .
I understand exactly what you are saying but it is usually trial and error trying to find a Dr who truly understands this problem. I had a rheumatologist who after many years with him told me that Fibro didn't exist and I should quit telling people I had this. The best way to find Dr's is to find other people with this problem and find out what they think of the Dr taking care of them . Contact the arthritis foundation for support groups in your area. That is the best place to get with other people with this problem.
I think that would be a very long list, more like books of names.....
