If you have fibromyalgia symptoms, don't expect to get all of your questions answered in one doctor visit. You will probably need to work with your healthcare provider over several visits to refine your particular fibromyalgia treatment strategy. You should expect to learn the answers to these questions:
- Do I have fibromyalgia? Has my doctor made sure another problem is not causing my symptoms?
- Do I need further testing?
- Is my healthcare provider comfortable treating fibromyalgia?
- What can I start doing to reduce my symptoms? Where should I start making changes in my life?
- Will I need to take medication?
- Are there treatments that can relieve my symptoms without medication?
- What if I become pregnant?
- Where can I learn more about fibromyalgia?
- When should I see the doctor again?
Your healthcare provider can help clarify what you might expect in your individual situation.
