Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia
Hello Doctors, I am searching for a primary care doctor in or near Scottsdale, AZ that really knows how to diagnose and treat a fibromyalgia patient. I hope to find someone ASAP. I have been with my current PCP for over 10 years. He completely missed my newly diagnosed Celiac Disease for years until I pushed for multiple labs and ended up in a GI docs office, thank goodness. I can find resources on-line for specialist that tx fibro but no PCPs. I need a new and very good : ) PCP due to my Fibromyalgia that has yet to be officially diagnosed. Also, my insurance requires referrals from my PC to any specialist. Thank you very much for any direction you can provide. newtoo in Scottsdale, AZ January 22, 2015

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you can take amitryptiline and duloxetin or you can start Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting you’re treating doctor.
Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.
A holistic approach is required, which includes exercises, meditation, SKY [sudarshan kriya yoga] and acupuncture along with healthy diet and herbs.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
