Ok here I go.....
First off thank you to anyone who responds to this, it will mean more than you know.
After 3 years of going through nearly every gp my surgery has, numerous tests, every drop of blood drained from me, being fobbed off, made to feel like all this is in my head or that I’m just lazy, my ibs consultant was the first to even ask about all of my symptoms. After a few minutes he said I’m pretty sure it’s fibromyalgia get your gp to refer you to a rheumatologist. I spoke to my gp a few days later and told him what the consultant said, his was response was let’s not rush this come in and we’ll examine you. My heart sank and I cried until my husband got home from work. Thankfully he was like f that f him I’m booking you to see a rheumatologist privately.
£195 later, I finally have an official diagnosis and name for the torture that consumes my body, yay. But because in my area it’s primarily the gp that deals with fibromyalgia back to them I have to go.
I have my first appointment since the diagnosis today and I’m so anxious. I’ve worked myself up so much about this I had an emotional breakdown yesterday over a towel and wet bath mat 😂
I’m not expecting the gp to give me a miracle cure just some help to manage the symptoms, and to be listened to because I’m really struggling both mentally and physically.
So after that ramble any words of positivity would be much appreciated 😊
Advise about medication for a new fibromyalgia diagnosis.

rheumatologist over ruled by physiotherapist.
It's good to get it off your chest and get it all out on here.
Good luck for today I hope you get something to try. I was given duloxetine 1st now on gababentine.
No miracle cure but it's something to try. I got to the point where anything was better than nothing but now I'm starting to come to terms with life with fibro I'm finding it easier to deal with mentally ...plus the sertraline helps lol ( not to be taken with duloxetine)
Let's hope your GP is understanding. Let us know how you get on 🍀
