Fibromyalgia Specialist

By Dr. Steven Yen


Just like everything else in life, when you decide to assume control then you MUST know the facts. With fibromyalgia treatment, you need to educate yourself as much as possible about fibromyalgia, IBS, Nervous Leg Syndrome, and Prolonged Fatigue Syndrome.

By educating yourself, you can see that you can't just rely on your health practitioner to"fix" you with some tablet or a surgery... If you do, your relief may never come. You should get the facts because with education comes empowerment. Empowerment shows the way to a positive attitude, and positive changes. These things will at last bring a sense of accomplishment and you'll often find that you will get improvement in your fibromyalgia symptoms.

The most critical thing to remember when teaching yourself and looking for a fibromyalgia specialist is to ALWAYS take into account that most importantly, you are number one! Listen to your body because only you know exactly how you're feeling. Be certain to tell your GP exactly how you're feeling because when you hurt, that is a tell-tale sign that Something's Wrong.

Now when searching for a clinician to treat your fibro pain, find one who is going to actually spend some time with you during your visit! Your doctor should spend more than 15 minutes with you! The fibromyalgia specialist could be more than familiar with the condition but if you don't get the time that you deserve, I can guarantee their treatment won't be as effective as it could be.

It's very maddening when my patients talk to me about the time they have spent in other doctors offices. It appears like they spend most of their time just sitting in the waiting lounge and not a lot of time with the specialist.

Make sure you find a consultant who cares about YOU and who will hear ALL of your questions! Fibromyalgia is a tough condition and you should not have to go through it alone.

Nothing good comes from feeling like just a number to your doctor instead of a real person with real discomfort. Find an expert who will take a little time to hear your worries, your questions, and how you are feeling. Demand that your GP gets to the bottom if it and don't let anyone, particularly not your consultant, make it obvious that your discomfort is "all in your head. ".
