I have also had very little help from rheumatologists. I have had some success working with a neurologist (mainly for the migraines) but I am now leaning toward pain management specialists. Also, be wary of massage therapists or physical therapists who don’t understand FM. I was in bed for a week after getting triggered by a PT. She didn’t mean to, of course, but I should have been more careful in screening the person I allowed to do my Physical therapy. It’s a rough world out there! Good luck.

Yes, have to be super careful myself too with getting PT. Last time it caused so much additional pain, I just stopped and do stretches at home.
