No, Drs don't know what to do with us because so many things don't work. As for the antibiotics for bronchitis, you don't need antibiotics for bronchitis. It's a virus and should go away on its own. Taking unnecessary antibiotics just makes you more antibiotic resistant. I think that was a good call.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I think a lot of doctors don't know what to do with us. Maybe that's my doctors problem. No the ass wouldn't even give me a freaking antibiotic for bronchitis. Everyone at my job had for the same thing. When I go to pain management on Monday I am hoping they will take over my narcotics then i can get a new pcp. That's the only way that's going to happen.

I believe it was at Lehigh Valley Rheumatology. It was a female doctor. I do like my doctor now, Marzena Bieniek in Whitehall but she is conservative. She is supportive though. I really think she just doesn't know what to do.
