Does anyone know of a good Fibro Doctor in NW Arkansas. Maybe a Doctor that believes in treating pain with pain pills.

Bri, I take it the new script isn't working well? Is your doctor a rheumy? I think usually we have a lot better chance with them.

Maybe there's a local Fibro Association chapter you could call to get some names.

If that doesn't work, maybe you can at least get a referral to a pain clinic.

I wish I could help you more. Now, if you ever need an adolescent psychiatrist, the best one in the world is in Arkansas. THAT I could help you with.

Hopefully, someone will pop by who knows more than I do about the area.

I am so sorry that I cannot help you there, my experience has found that I can talk to and get better cooperation from a pain mgmt md. He tends to listen to me better and will give me something to try to relieve the pain. That is their line of work so they are a little bit better at that. Good luck and I hope you find someone soon. Let us know how you are doing.

Bri did you try looking at www.fmaware.org there is a FM friendly doctor listing on there, it is the National Fibromyalgia Assn webpage.

Bri, I have a link to a couple sites that list patient recommended doctors for fibro by state. Unfortunately it is not on this computer. I'll look for it later today. Just don't give up. I know how frustrating it is. For over 3 years they shoved antidepressants down my throat, which I needed them for depression but they did nothing for my pain. But I have found a doc that is treating my pain now. They are out there and if you don't give up you will find one.

You're in NW Arkansas? That's where I moved to Florida from. I'm sorry I can't help you with a doctor though. I had no success when I lived there.

I jumped from doctor to doctor and they all told me there was nothing wrong with me and maybe I should get a psychological evaluation. I couldn't get any help until I moved to Florida. I hope you have more success than I did. Maybe Amommy's list will help.
