Hi Sings, I'm with the Moira dr practise on the Main Street and can't recommend Dr Spence highly enough. He's been my gp for few yrs and he's great. I get fantastic care from him and he's been on courses dealing with fibro. If I ask him a question he's not sure bout he finds out 4 me and listens to exactly what I say. There are 3 main drs in the practise as well as locums on various days also. The other 2 main drs are Dr Parker and Dr Davis but my advise is to stay well clear of them as they don't believe in fibro. I can't really say much bout the locums in the practise as I stick with Dr Spence wherever possible. There is 1 locum who's quite a regular called Dr Barr and he's pretty good also although I've only seen him 2/3 times when Dr Spence has been on holiday etc. Hope this helps u xx

Hi ya neighbour I don't think there's any good gp's in the following areas that u have mentioned, tbh they say Craigavon is one of the better ones? I'm not sure as I'm not a patient!! A lot of gps reckon fibro is the "yuppy flu", & all in the head, u know the score were kinda classed as lazy lay a bouts, there is a good surport group in newry&morne fibromagila group, google it, it's on 1st/2nd tue each month, I've the no somewhere I'll hava wee look for u when my legs switch on again hope this helps:-)x

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. I tried to join the Moira practice, only to be told that i'm outside their catchment area!! oh well, i have heard the practice in Gilford is quite good, so i will probably just go with them.
