Posted by Ivyjer@ivyjer @joyceannv, Oct 8, 2025

I don’t know how to find the right doctor to help me. I’ve had Fibro diagnosed by a nurse practitioner 4 years ago. She is treating me for something else and does not treat Fibro. I have increasing pain in my legs and hips. It is debilitating. Do I look for a rheumatologist, a neurologist or someone else. I should say that my fatigue is terrible and I am trying to live my life but the pain and fatigue are stopping me. Help! I need a doctor to help me with meds and coping.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Fibromyalgia Support Group.

@fibrowoman I am finding that Rheumatologists do not want to treat Fibromyalgia anymore as it is so complicated and time consuming. I have been to two of them two years ago and did
not receive much help. Now the ones I called are not taking Medicare or either will not take
on a Fibromyalgia patient. They are sending you back to your primary to treat Fibromyalgia I find.

All my prayers & blessings to you....

I actually never got help from ANY medical pro, BUT I received the least help from aRheumatologist.
