New Doc Says Firbomyalgia isnt real

All the pain and suffering, yet he says it isnt a real diagnosis.
He is testing for osteaoarthritis now with an xray and gives me Mobic, which doesnt do athing for my pain.
I am going to resort to finding a damn drug dealer just to obtain relief.
Tired of the doctors not caring. Tired of people without pain getting prescribed pills and the ones who have a ton of pain never get it prescribed! This is no life!

Dont give up-Im in the same boat-BUT I HAVE had to resort in the past to purchasing pain meds from the street. it sucks-but when you feel like your on your death bed-you will do just about anything for relief.
BIG HUGS to you-keep your head up....it will take time-but keep fighting!

Find a new doctor ... I was lucky to find my rheumatologist. He has been a blessing. If this guy says Fibro isn't a REAL diagnosis the first time you see him... He's already made it clear he is NOT the right doctor for you !!!

One of the best chiropractors that I ever went to had this same response, he said that he didn't beleive in Fibro, but after treating me for 6 yrs he did actually start to reseach what meds, alternative therpaies etc would help with fibro. I do not see this Dr currently, but the last time I spoke with his wife who is he assistant at thier office, she did mention that they were treating anumber of finro patients and they were responding well to the treatments.
So maybe he is a believer now. My present Dr uses chiropractic and kineseolgy at the same visit as well as other modalities, ultra sound massage, to balance the body and help with my fibro. It is ok to fire a Dr I have had to do this many times in my lifetime, and you might want to interview the new one with a set of questions before you set up that first appointment so that you dont waste anymore of your time and money on non believer drs.

Compain about him. It is high time these jerk doctors pay for their crimes of calling us liars and subsequently pushing people to become desperate! I agree with the others, dont get street drugs. It will def. bring more problems. I totally know what you mean though, is THAT what they want?

Have you tried a Pain Center? That is where I have been going since December of 08 after YEARS of dealing with idiot doctors who know NOTHING.
HUGS FOR YOU :)

Don't give up, I've had Fibro Diagnosed then Myofascial Pain, then was told maybe Fibro, then was told degenerated muscles from lack of use, like we all want to sit and do nothing.

My rhumy was the opposite. he wanted me to try every drug they had, after 5 or 6 I gave up, not him.

I Feel better with lite exercise, some walking and watching what I eat and stretching and most importantly knowing I'm not crazy but do have limitations.
Good Luck
