Ask your Primary: Ask your primary care doctor if he or she feels they can treat you or can they refer you to someone who specializes in treating fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia treatme: It really depends on your preferences. As a functional medicine doctor, I treat fibromyalgia successfully often. I think many doctors would agree that there is no magic bullet cure for fibromyalgia. It is probably best treated with an integrative or functional medicine approach - nutrition changes, hormones, toxins, genetics, emotional issues, co-existing conditions, etc.

Rheumatologist: As to locating good fibromyalgia expert, one might go to local county medical society & obtain names of all local Rheumatologists. Next, check out their websites to find out if they specify a particular interest in fibromyalgia. Finally, go to Yelp to find out how patients regarded their services. Set up a few minutes of interview with your selections to find out which doctor you resonate with.
