Do I Need to See a Specialist?

Should I see a specialist? I was diagnosed and treated by my general practitioner and have never gone to see a specialist.

Are you receiving adequate treatment? If so then really there’s no need. But if you are having out of control symptoms then yes you should see a specialist.

I would recommend it. I see a Rheumatologist for fibromyalgia and he helped way more than my primary care

I would also recommend seeing a Rheumatologist. They know so much more about treatments.
