Rheumatologist Release Back To PCP
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I received my diagnosis last Thursday and my rheumatologist released me back to my PCP. I am disappointed by that because I don't know if my PCP is knowledgeable about fibro. I have not talked with her about it at all. I'm not scheduled to go back to her until May for my physical. Is it normal for your rheumatologist to do that? Should I make an appointment to see PCP sooner. I just started gabapentin and have a question but I feel like I don't have a doctor to ask now. Thoughts?

Anyone take ultram? If so how does it work for pain? I have a script but scared to try it since last med (cymbalta) was causing more harm then good. But in such pain I need to do something to help.
