Hi there AnnD. Thankyou for the reply. Sorry for the delay in wrighting this but it continues to be a struggle nowadays to get anything done. I'm sure you understand this since you are living with fibromyalgia yourself.
You remind me that there is another GP that I can talk with about this. When I was getting help for an alcohol dependance problem a few years ago, the Doctor at the treatment clinic was available for any mental health issues. He helped me get off of Effexor and change to wellbutrin.
I'm thinking he might be the place to start for information and possibly treatment. Also now that I think about it he was the one that prescribed cymbalta. Could be that he suspected I have fibro long before my own Gp mentioned it.
I agree with you that a neurologist should be a primary treatment doctor for fibro, or a neuropsychologist as well. For some reason they arn't. Short supply? Lack of uptodate education? Not sure.
Thanks again, AnnD and take care.
