I have been diagnosed with fibromylgia and am looking for a doctor who is very familiar with this syndrome.?

Primary/Rheumatology: Your primary care doctor may treat fibromyalgia syndrome (fms) or you may be referred to a rheumatologist. There are 'fms' clinics around the country who specialize in fms patients--so look around. Hope that helps.

Make sure: Fibromyalgia can be difficult to treat, so make quite sure that this is indeed what you have. Seek a second opinion. See a rheumatologist or a physiatrist to make sure there is no other issue causing the pain you must be experiencing. Fm is a syndrome made up of several sets of symptoms and findings. Once you have the diagnosis then you need to be treated by someone familiar with managing it.
