A. Poor

Only help I have is through one doctor at my practice who seems to understand apart from that I feel pretty stranded and left to cope with it on my own. I think if my illness was handled better by seeing a fybromyalgia specialist at least 3/4 times a year would benefit me.

I live in the north of England A

Hmmm, I think a specialist would be good, seeing them less frequently as our knowledge and symptoms improve.

Answers again, none of the above. It depends who you see.
