Fibromyalgia Support Group

Most doctors, not all, but most, are butt heads. Remember 50% of them graduated in the bottom half of their class!

See the problem with this whole thing is back in the olden days.. they called people who complained all the time but could find nothing medically wrong with them as having "chronic fatigue syndrome". they just in the past few years have deemed it "fibromyalgia" and have actually found it to be a legitimate problem with real pain and real symptoms. Some of the old school doctors who practiced back in the olden days still consider it a BS diagnosis and just something told to them to "shut 'em up". A lot of nurses - even ones who just gradulated in the last few years and ones in nursing school now (the ones that ive spoke to NOT in a rheumatology field) still discredit it. Its so hard to find a physician to take you seriously. But once you do and they treat it like its real (because it is) it will change your life forever. I went to about 8 doctors before i found one who took it seriously and did inflammatory blood work on me that sent me to a rheumatologist. Be patient. God tends to put people in your life when they are supposed to be there.
