Fibromyalgia -- Need help on how to handle severe pain

Can you recommend a good Dr in the Twin Cities metro area that helps with your Fibro? I can't find one. I even went to a pain clinic that had Fibro listed as something they treat, but it wasn't the case once I got there. My PCP isn't helpful in helping treat my pain. He tells me to see a specialist, most are booked up for 3-4 months, and they refer me back to my PCP.

I'm in the outstate area, closer to Rochester so that's where I went when I found out I had fibro. Sorry I can't refer you to anyone in the Twin Cities metro but I would hope up there you'd have better luck than down here. Sounds like the pain clinic are leading you and others down a false path of disappointment. I do recall having to wait 6 months to be seen at the Fibromyalgia Clinic in Mayo so maybe all the specialists are this way now. Are you able to see another PCP or would that in itself be a 3-4 month wait? I wish we all had better options, so frustrating.
