Hi Loxie,

 

A gp isn't the best doctor to be seeing if you are experiencing any Fibro symptoms.  You need to see a rheumatologist.  You can insist to get a referal to one.  It's your right! 

 

What symptoms are you having?

Welcome Loxie,

You've already been given some excellent advice. A good doctor who treats Fibro is the best way to go. He will rule out all the other things that act like Fibro & maybe get you started on some medication for relief of your symptoms.

Good luck & keep us updated!

Hugs!!   Margie

Hi loxie and welcome. I'm sorry your doc won't listen to you. My GP is the one that dxd me so it doesn't matter what kind of doc they are as long as they believe in fibro and recognize the symptoms. The first rheumatologist I had was useless so I found another one. When I called the first thing I asked was if he believed in fibro and treated it. Sadly, there are still doctors out there that believe this is all in our heads. If it was we would all go see a psych and be cured.

 

Good luck.

luv and hugs

thanks marlee,
your right about my gp thinkin that its all in my head but hopefully i will convince him the next time i go that its not in my head and that i really do feel all the things for me the worst one is the pain in my head and my knee is getting just as bad as well as the numbness in my feet and hands so hopefully i will get my gp to do something about it xx
