I live in Bangor and I have a good doctor. She has sent me to consultants for all the symptoms I have since being diagnosed. I only had one appointment with her and she immediately for an appointment.

She has a couple of other FM patients.

Sounds like you have hit lucky with your GP, im hoping to find a good one, but it needs to be in Banbridge, waringstown, Moira, Lurgan, or surrounding area.

Hi, Good GP's are hard to find, so good luck everyone. xx

Apparently Dr Lee in Craigavon Hospital is the best Dr for Fibromyalgia...but it's getting an appointment. See if your own Dr will refer you..just ask him/her for a referral.

Glad someone else from Northern Ireland.

I'm with High Street, Lurgan Surgery, and not one of those Dr's know very much or anything about Fibromyalgia, whatever I read or find on here, I write it down and ask my Dr..wish I could find a good Dr who understands the pains etc and is not minggy with medications.
