I have moved house and need a new GP. Can anyone recommend a GP in the Craigavon/Gilford/Banbridge or surrounding area, that is knowledgable and sympathetic to fibromyalgia patients. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
In England you can view a list of GP Surgeries on the NHS CHOICES web page, there is a section on GP surgeries in your new area and also dentists etc
All the best

I don't live in England, I live in N.I. And I would like some recommendations rather than just a list of local GP's but thanks for your reply
See if you can find a fibromyalgia support group in your area, or an online one that has people from NI and ask there. You might get a more useful answer. Otherwise do a bit of canvassing yourself - just phone all the possible GP surgeries and ask if there are any doctors there who have an interest in fibro. Also, you should be able to try out different doctors to see who you feel comfortable with. Tell them you are thinking of signing on with them, and ask if you can have an initial appointment to see how you get on with the doctor.
