I changed insurances two months after being dianosed with fibromyalgia. It took the doctor, so long to figure out what was wrong with me. It was a relief to have a name to put with my pain. Then I had to switch Doctor's. The doctor that I know curently have does not believe in Fibromyalgia... he thinks it is a manifistation. That is very disconcerning to me. I need some good advise on what I should do. Or what I can do in this sittuation.

What a situation! The only thing I can think of is to try and find a way to change your doctor. Is that possible to do that under your insurance plan? If you can you might want to contact the National Fibromyalgia Association to see if a support group in your area can recommend someone (or maybe some other solution). You might want to find a support group simply to have someone to talk to!
