Rheumatologist says fibromyalgia does not cause inflammation but I have also had PC say that it does. The back and forth with information drives me crazy with fibro.

I know access to healthcare can come with a lot of issues but also wanted to mention that for some people getting a second opinion from a different rheumatologist can be worthwhile. For me, it took my 2nd try with a rheumatologist to get anywhere.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I've heard from many others who go through this as well. I personally think that sometimes a doctor gets too focused on is this fibromyalgia or an autoimmune condition. I'm someone who has both. So, I think that continuing to see a rheumatologist to keep track of labs, plus keeping track of symptoms and what helps relieve them is so important. I hope you get answers.
