I have been threw alot of doctors before I found one willing to help. My first doctor told me I was obese and needed to lose weight then I would be fine. My new doctor just sent me to a Rheumatologist. Where do I go from here?

Put on your seatbelt because you are in for the fibro ride. I think we've all been to just about every kind of doctor there is. The most important thing is to find a doctor who believes in you. You are a customer and deserve the best service. If the doctor doesn't believe in fibro find one who does. They should be willing to try all sorts of different things to help you. Try each one with an open mind and stay with a support group to help you through the venture to come.

hello all I am also taking anti depressents and Flexeril at night but is not working. The doctor says I need to give it time to work. I read what other people take and hear that it works. How do I get my doctor to listen and try new meds?

Talk, Talk, TALK to your doctor and if he/she won't listen...FIND A NEW DOCTOR! You have to have a doc that you can build a 'relationship' with which I was really lucky with. It is VERY important that you and your doc can talk and that your doc not only listens, but understands!

Anti-depressants do take some time to work, however, flexeril should hit you like a ton of bricks. Maybe you need stronger flexeril? Or something different perhaps.

Just don't give up!! It took me YEARS to find someone who not only believed me...but took the time to help me. Once you have that and find the correct medication(s) for you...all you need is US~!

Good luck and keep us posted...please!!
