I am looking for a fibromyalgia organisation/support group in or around the swindon area.?
I have moved to swindon and have chronic fibromyalgia. My old doctor was brilliant, but since moving the doctor I now have is to be frank worse than useless, his first suggestion when I saw him was to try and get me to see a psychotherapist. As he said that I do not need the medication that I am on and that all I need to do is to see the therapist a few times and I will start to see things from a different perspective. I know what I have got and I know how it affects me. I have had it for 20years. Just don't need some quack telling me its all in my head. Anyway enough ranting. lol. If anyone can help I would be more than grateful. Thanks LIZ

1. I know how you feel i also suffer with it , i found help looking on the net for SUPPORT groups in my area , my old doctor told me for 4years it was in my head till i went to see another Gp ,if you are not happy with his attitude see another , also my practice nurse was able to help get information on SUPPORT groups so try her .Good luck and try to keep smiling
2. Fibromyalgia needs to be seen to by a Rheumatologist, not a GP! You might try ARC or Arthritis Care
