Hi Amy and welcome! Nice to meet you. The majority of people with fibro, MPS I have talked with are diagnosed and/or treated by a rheumatologist. The docs in that field tend to be more knowledgeable and current on those conditions (generally). A few have been seen by neurologists. Others have a family physician or internist who treats them sometimes in conjuction with one of these specialists. I have heard recently that if you are diagnosed/treated by a rheumatologist that it is in your favor when applying for disability.

Feel free to ask more questions when ever you need to - this is a good place to do it. Nice folks here and we like to share info and resources. Plus make new friends!

I'll be applying soon myself. I had to quit my job last year due to severe fibromyalgia.

Hope you enjoy the site and the board. Come join us in chat if you want to - we meet informally on Friday nights at 7 p.m. U.S. eastern in case you want to swing by!
