Fibromyalgia -- Need help on how to handle severe pain

@ripley I am surprised your rheumatologist has sent you back to your GP after your diagnosis.. As far as I have ever known, the doctor who diagnoses the patient is the one who continues to treat the patient for the illness diagnosed. Could you not go back to your rheumatologist and ask her to prescribe something to control your pain?

I have found a Doc's specialty does not necessarily limit expertise. Like most of us in our professions, Doc's have areas of medicine they are very interested in and often continue to follow research on those areas regardless of their stated "specialty." Finding a Doc that attempts to keep up, as much as possible, with the evolving state of Fibromyalgia is a win, no matter the specialty!
