Hi everyone:
I now have 2 rheumatologists who confirm I have fibro. The curious thing is that they can't seem to agree on who should treat me.
My first rheumo initially diagnosed me, but said he didn't treat it. Usually Neuros do.
Then I saw a neurologist who also said he doesn't treat it, Rheumos do. He referred me to a rheumo after checking that HE treats it.
I see rheumo #2 this week, who was much more knowledgeable about FMS but said his options are limited - we can try the meds combinations, but we might end up having to Pain management (already have one of those doctors for back injury!)
So anyways - I'm curious - how many of you see a rheumo vs a neuro for your FMS followups? :?: :?:
