finding a doctor who cares.

I've been struggling with pain for 2 yrs. Finally got a diagnosis about a month ago of fibromyalgia. However, I was told there is no specialists/anything that can help.

I am struggling with costochondritis, depression and now siatica however my gp just says I need to keep my motivation up and exercise and lose weight. I am currently the lightest I have been since my teens however can still barely walk.

I need to find someone who is willing to help me, believe me and not just pump me full of drugs that stop me being able to look after my young children. It feels like my only way out is a final way.

Where can I find a fibro specialist,surely there is one?

Thank you.

Re: finding a doctor who cares.

As this is a question about FM, and finding a doctor you can be referred to, I think it would be more helpful to repost it on the fibro forum
