Looking For A GP That Understands In Doreen Area Or Nearby
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Please please help. I’m looking for a GP in the northern suburbs of Melbourne that understands what fibromyalgia is. Not a rheumatologist as I already have one but I’m finding it difficult to find a general practitioner that just get it. Does anyone have any good recommendations they can offer. Thank you in advance.

I've been lucky I have a PCP that really knows what I'm going through she can't understand why the pain management people are treating us that way I don't do drugs I don't shoot up snort or even sell the stuff and she knows that but we have to go bye the rules and regulations that she needs to stand by as long as I go and try to get pain management and if that don't work she's going to bridge me every time all they seem to tell me it's in my head and I need to get mental therapy trust me I don't need that I think I'm going to OD on their medications I blatantly told him straight up if I was going to out myself issues by pills is going to be something quicker than that we are human beings and we are in pain they just can't feel it cuz they don't know what we're going through keep sticking up for us and tell him all these pain management don't judge

I’m in Melbourne, Victoria. But I wish you luck hun. It’s so hard finding someone that has empathy and understands the condition.
