I need suggestions on finding a good fibromyalgia doctor who fosters a patients desire to do without prescription drugs.

I've been diagnosed and had a doctor treating me several years. My doctor is no longer practicing and I'm not interested in breaking new doctors in. I know writing Rx's is lucrative to them and often the reason why they want to sway us against more natural solutions. I was seen by soooooooooo many doctors in the beginning and I'm not interested in going through that again. I need to do something soon my condition is worsening and the doctors I've seen "don't get it." I need to acquire a new treating doctor in my area, who is knowledgeable and LISTENS to patients concerns and needs for a good fit.

If you live in the Houston area, Paul Paily MD is very good. If not, I can't agree more with the above comment about the fibromyalgia support group. If you post your metro area, maybe more will reply with specific names. Hope this helps.

Hi fibrocfids,
Sometimes word of mouth from other people who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia can be the best way to find a doctor that meets your needs. Are you involved in any support groups or a local chapter of a fibromyalgia group? If not, see if there is anything like this in your area and begin to ask others about their doctors and their satisfaction with their care.
