Rheumatologist Release Back To PCP

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cincinnati, OH

I received my diagnosis last Thursday and my rheumatologist released me back to my PCP. I am disappointed by that because I don't know if my PCP is knowledgeable about fibro. I have not talked with her about it at all. I'm not scheduled to go back to her until May for my physical. Is it normal for your rheumatologist to do that? Should I make an appointment to see PCP sooner. I just started gabapentin and have a question but I feel like I don't have a doctor to ask now. Thoughts?

My rheumatologist just put me on tramadol. Has anyone had any luck with this helping pain? I remember taking it a very long time ago for a broken foot and it didn't really help but this is higher dosage.

Yes, Tramadol is something that you take ongoing. It isn't like codeine or even Tylenol that you can take it when you need it. I tried to take it but my whole body swole up and retained fluid. Check… read more

Does Anyone Else Experience An Inability To Process Pharmaceutical Medicines?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Saint Louis, MO

I've been like that my whole life, it's like my body just automatically wants to reject anything that's not an antibiotic or vaccine. A lot of the meds the doctors tried putting me on (when I was officially diagnosed with fibro and depression / anxiety) tried to convince me to "off" myself. I have a good handle on my brain-self, so I knew that wasn't "me" thinking those thoughts, if that makes any sense. I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

A MyFibroTeam Member

Yes, I was told to start antidepressants at 1/4of a dose to prevent side effects….

Fife, scotland

I'm thinking of trying a low carb diet. Does anyone follow a specific diet which helps their condition? I have tried gluten free and was vegetarian for several years. Any diet suggestions would be helpful.
