Hello everyone!
I'm new to the forum! I've had some sort of chronic pain issue since I was 14. I've been to a million doctors and been tested for pretty much everything to do with chronic pain (arthritis, lupus, celiac etc..) This past summer I went to a doctor subbing in for my regular gp and she was pretty certain I have fibromyalgia. I finally felt like I was getting on the right track after 8 years of on and off terrible pain and exhaustion. However, my regular gp came back and now she won't even really discuss fibromyalgia as a possibility at all. Has anybody been through this? I know that it is a reasonably new illness to be recognized in the medical community, but after being to a physiatrist, rheumatologist and my regular doctor, none of them really seem to recognize fibromyalgia as a viable illness. Anyway, it could be possible of course that this is not what I have, but all my symptoms fit and not with anything else. Your stories would be appreciated!
