Well I went to my psychiatrist yesterday and he told me he is quitting his practice and moving to a different state. He at least referred me to someone else. This is the 4th doctor in a year that has left their practice. My rheumatologist left about a year ago, the doctor who was treating me...
Ok, I live close to Springfield, Il. It is a town on 117,000 residents. I looked up fibromyalgia doctors in this area and found about 10. I called each of them and was told they were no longer working at that facility. I looked up pain management doctors and could find none. I called my...
I'm going to take exam next week. Unfortunately I was barred for one subject. This is because my attendance did not reach 80%. It happened since I took 21 credit hours for this semester and I cannot afford it. Here, 21 credit hours seem like having class from 9 am to 6 pm with one hour gap in...
My cousin was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago, whilst I developed trimethylaminuria (TMAU) symptoms. I was living with her parents when my symptoms occurred. Since her mother doesn't have a modern knowledge at preserving food, I have found something common in between us -...

Thinking back to the current clinic I attended, and the one previously, they barely asked any information beyond the usual drug allergies, chronic conditions, smoking/drinking habits, etc.
Their medical history questionnaires didn't ask about any physical routines, food allergies or...
Hi, I am new to this forum, and so very happy to have found it. I am a 40 year old mother of 3. I had been diagnosed over 10 years ago by a rheumatologist; however, my primary had me convinced for years that it was a disease that doctors had made up. That they just came up with a name for...

I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and my pain, fatigue and cognitive issues have only gotten worse. They are all so bad, I had to stop working and can't enjoy any part of life. My depression has reached a point that I just don't know what to do anymore. I am hoping that I can find someone to...
Just wanted to put this out there, since I see threads from people looking for a specialist and/or rheumatologist in their area.
You may want to considering looking into doctors that are affiliated or work strictly at teaching hospitals. I find that often they have long tenure and have seen a...
