What is important in finding a doctor to treat me?

The right doctor

There may not be a cure for fibromyalgia, but there are treatments that will allow us to function, if not normally at least enough that we don't feel useless and handicapped. Doctors who think of fibro as a "wastebasket" diagnosis tend to dismiss most of your symptoms as being psychosomatic, and may not be willing to prescribe anything other than aspirin.
