    Dr. John was very nice and had great bedside manner. She had clearly reviewed my chart and was doing her best to explain the condition to me. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. The issue is that fibro is supposed to be a Rheumatology condition, and Dr. John (as well as literally every other rheumatologist I have seen) just ends up referring me to pain management. I've seen two pain management doctors, and they've both told me that they are not experts on this condition. How am I supposed to get comprehensive care if there are no doctors prepared to be an active partner with me on my care? How can there not be anyone who specializes in Fibromyalgia? I also think the fact that Emory Pain Center refuses to prescribe narcotics AT ALL is a major miss in terms of actually serving the community. I understand wanting to avoid liability, but there are certain pain conditions that require long-term pain management and cannot be served by physical therapy. I know - I've been to three different physical therapists already. It just seems like no one - including the biggest research medical system in Atlanta - is actually prepared to deal with a condition that apparently effects 2-4% of the population.
