Finding A Good Doctor

Finding a doctor who is caring and experienced can be a daunting process. This is particularly difficult if you have, or suspect you have, Fibromyalgia (FM) and/or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalopathy (CFS/ME). This is because there is no one medical specialty that handles Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME exclusively. So finding the right doctor can be a maddening experience.
