Approaching PCP for Fibromyalgia Diagnosis and Referral

Be honest. Fibromyalgia has some peculiar symptoms that will help them diagnose you properly if you do have it. They might test a few other things that are similar, then diagnose you with Fibro if the other things all turn up negative. Even digestive problems and frequent urination etc can be fibro

You’re not alone! I instead went to an internist, who understood my body way better than a GP. The Rheumatologist is also great more for that arthritic, lupus, etc. I’ve found a lot of help through my internist though.

I find it is best to be direct. Most doctors appreciate your honesty and want to make you happy.

Yes see a rheumatologist, I have fibromyalgia myself along with lots of other things but I'm on Lyrica and it has help some and just recently up the dosage but I think seeing a rheumatologist is the best thing to do because honestly it may not be that. They will run all kinds of tests and those kinds of doctors are great. I first went to a rheumatologist because I found out I had lupus and they found other things. Sorry for the rambling, I just don't have anyone to talk to that understands my illnesses.
