A member asked:
Long-time gp and rheumatologist do not agree. gp says condition is fibro, rheum. says i should start on dmards. what does the confused patient do?

See another Rheum: Not sure what the rheumatology diagnosis is but more likely both could be right. We see a lot of people with both fibromyalgia and an additional diagnosis. You did not say what diagnosis you have been given by rheumatology. Again i need to know what data each physician is using.
