Where In Nawlins Are All The Fibro Doctors?


Group question:

Is there anyone out there in the New Orleans area with Fibromyalgia? If so, what doctors do you see to treat your Fibro?

I've run into a problem. All of a sudden no one wants to treat my FM. The Rheumatologist dumped me on a pain specialist. The pain specialist dumped me before ever meeting me. The primary care physician dumped me on another pain management specialist, and guess what ... the second pain management specialist dumped me before the first appointment. I haven't opened my mouth and told anyone my advocacy history, I haven't tried telling them how backwards their views of FM are down here. I'm biting my tongue and trying to be a good little patient, but this flare I'm in is getting worse. Top if all off, the Rheumatologist down here doesn’t believe that I was treating with a Rheumatologist in Chicago, nor does she want to talk to anyone from the old office.
