I see a Rheumatologist for my FM and have been seeing her since 2019. She was the one who diagnosed the FM and has been great... up until a few months ago. I've found that this summer has been especially hard on my FM and I only see my Rheumatologist every 5-6 months. That being said, I have the flexibility to have messages sent to her if something comes up in the meantime. Moving my appt's with her are extremely difficult because she's always booked out months in advance. Having said this.. the messages that I send in between appointments are really important because I don't have other options to see her in between scheduled appointments. The last couple of times I've called to get advice or tell her about something that i'm struggling with i'm ALWAYS referred out to see a PCP. It got to the point that I had another message sent to her, honestly asking "why do I see you if you're referring me out to other Dr's??" I also asked that the message state that i'm so frustrated to the point of finding a new Dr. Any suggestions or advice? I don't understand why I see a Rheumatologist for my FM if when I have problems with my FM she just refers me out to see another Dr. Not even a specialist of sorts... a PCP. I also stated in my messages that the symptoms i'm seeking advice for are direct symptoms of the FM. It makes NO sense to me and i'm extremely frustrated. Any words of advice or encouragement are welcome
Thanks.
