    In Need of a Diagnosis...

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a diagnosis from a doctor? The reason I ask is because I've seen two rheumatologists. Neither one gave me a diagnosis, even though it is pretty obvious to anyone who observes me that I DO have fibromyalgia. I've read that many doctors are very...

    Pain draining my brain.

    This is so frustrating for me and it's probably hindering my ability to get well.
