Hi just new here but I'm so glad that this forum exists.
A couple of weeks ago my GP told me he thinks I have fibromyalgia. No big surprise to me, I've been asking him for years if I do. He already diagnosted depression, ostioarthritis, tendonitis and herniated disks. Now the part I don't understand is, how can he say I have fibromyalgia and the next sentence say "come back in a month to discuss it"? A month? No treatment? No referral to a specialist?
Yes, I know that I should have asked for a referral, but I wasn't thinking at all at that point. I just went blank.
My big question is, since this doctor has been pretty much useless to me for years, where do I go next? How do I find treatment for this? How do I get information? Should I try to get another GP? Thanks... kiwiguy.
