I know of his books and story. But he just sells his books and supplements. I'm now homeless for fibromyalgia and on SSI/SSDI. So I'm pretty poor. Lol. Darn it. I just want a doctor, a PCP, that cares and can refer me to like pain management, rheumatologist, or mad scientist that can do anything. In the 10 years I have been on SSI/SSDI For fibromyalgia , I haven't had one PCP that is a believer. Never had a referral or any real care. I was never a doctor shopper. If I did that they think your a druggie. I am not. Do I stay and suffer. But not now. Fibromyalgia has ruined my like and now left me homeless. So I am going to doctor shop now and will move anywhere. I had hoped to get in the Mayo clinic there in Rochester Minnesota but there full. They said try Jacksonville Florida mayo. I did this morning and they dont treat it. 2 classes on living with it. That's all. So the Mayo clinic let me down. So I'm looking for a mad scientist now. Lol. Any ideas?

If you do a google search on doctors who treat fibromyalgia, you will find many sources that you can then narrow by location. This might factor into where you move. Three I found from doing a quick search are below. I deleted most of my response to you because I don't believe in kicking someone when he/she is down. The gist of it was you seem to be wanting someone to save you, whereas in reality you have to save yourself. I really hope you will pursue some of the good suggestions people have made in an attempt to help you and your living situation and health improve soon. Good luck.

Homeless? Sorry to hear that. I hope you have a place to stay though, and can find decent shelter that is more or less permanent. My brother-in-law was homeless, went to friends for a few years, finally got into government subsidized housing in Jacksonville. Hope you find something.

@earthmands I'm sorry to hear you idea of getting to the Florida campus of Mayo Clinic fell through. Were they able to give you any ideas of where to go for assistance? Are you able to go back to the original dr who diagnosed the fibromyalgia and ask for help?
