Who do you see for your Fibromyalgia? Who manages your care, PCP or Rheumatoid? My PCP sent me to Rheumatoid who diagnosed me-"you have fibro", sent me back to my PCP who said "you have fibro". 🙄🙄 I knew this before hand. I am/was taking recommended medications so nothing really changed except notation in my chart.
It's like going to a hair salon and being told I have red hair 😡 BUT what if I want to be blonde?? 🤔🤔 What can we do about it?

I have had fibro we think since I was 21 and had a bad fall that triggered it. I have had Dr's yell at me and tell me it was in my head more times than I can count. Dr's are getting better about it, but you have to shop around.

I see my paper, neurologist, pain management Dr, and rheumatologist, plus a therapist, my pain management Dr has been the most beneficial so far and I just started seeing her a few months ago. But the neuro. Keeps my other meds in check so I can sleep and at least stay functional to a point which isn't much. Wish they would put me on something better then tramadol for pain I've taken it so long it's not effective anymore
