andover med centre

[elvis777]

can anyone reccomend the best doctor to see at the andover med centre ( the surgery in front of the hospital) for fibro?

had a physio appt today. at my last appt she asked me to read up on fibro as she thought this is what i might have. when i told her it rang true she agreed that i have fibro. i thought she'd do that tender point test thingy but she didn't. turns out that was my last appt too, i now have no rheumy, no physio and no doctor looking after me. i get told i have fibro and then i'm on my own

am gonna see what doc says and maybe get some meds or something to help things. i'm not in too much pain atm but the tiredness is crazy.

sorry i ended up rambling, thanks

Hello Elvis77,

Unfortunately I personally cannot help answer your question as I am not registered with this surgery. Can I remind the community that are guidelines state that no person should be named openly on the forum and any answers including GP names should be messaged privately to Elvis777 please.

I totally understand what you have experienced and many of us can relate to the way you are feeling. All I can say is keep fighting even tho' you may feel you are not getting anywhere. That's what I did and eventually found a GP who understands & I have had referrals to London FMS Clinic too.

If you find that others can recommend a Fibro friendly GP at your surgery, do consider asking them for a Rhuematology appointment and a referral to Pain Clinic too. Here is a link about Pain Clinics,

There is lots of information on the internet about Fibromyalgia & it's treatments that you can read up on to discuss with GP to help alleviate some of your symptoms.

Here is a link to downloadable factsheets from FibroAction you can print them if that helps,

I wish you well and hope you have more success with another GP
