Dr Norman Hohl Gold Coast, one of the best GPS (an known for it) on the coast, I was diagnosed with fibro, turns out I had a hole my heart..... had it closed 3 years ago, my recovery has been amazing !! look a little further there are alot of diseases and problems that can mimic Fibro... Good Luck, keep trying:)

For pain management I see Dr Watson at Sunnybank specialist centre. He is a muscular skeletal specialist and he specialises in fibromyalgia and gives lectures. When it was even too painful to wash up, he used a combination of manipulation, cortisone injections and acupuncture. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Dr Malcolm Ash at Toowong Village Medical Centre, Fantastic with Fibro, he doesn't do "vaginas" being a big flamboyant gay man, but he takes as long as you need, takes the time it takes, can run very late but will never rush you and is experienced. Also never batted an eye at my lying on the floor for consults when sitting hurt too much.

Have pm my friend will post back when I hear from her . Centrelink is tricky because you have to meet a 20 point scale . I thinks it's 20 ... And try go off what your Drs write on their form . There is a great dr at deception bay dr Fitzgerald 3203 2644 only thing is she doesn't bulk bill and works only certain hours she is very thorough and the one I'm seeing now due to not being able to go to her often when she doesn't bulk bill is dr Salamat Morayfield medical and dental . Its a walk on clinic and u just sit and wait . He's also very thorough but with auto immune etc so hard to diagnose, hope you can find one that can help hon, know what it's like xo

There are no Rheumatologists that specialise in Fibromyalgia in Brisbane unfortunately and it will take months to years to see one publicly. I had to wait 5 months to see any Rheumatologist privately (I rang every one in Brissie). The two Rheumatologists that I have seen privately in Brisbane don't seem to be up to date with the research/causes of Fibromyalgia. Dr Helen Broom is a great, holistic GP (Tyack Health-Manly) that is understanding but a lot of her suggestions can be costly and complementary medicine based

Dr Ryan Aspley medical centre. I have had FM over 20 years he has been my doctor for nearly 15 years he doesnt give prescription drugs like oxy and endone he has specialised in FM/CFS Chemical sensativtes and most GPs who think FM is a crock dont really like him because he believes his patients and can pretty much tell you what your deficent in by your symptoms and then shows you he is right after blood tests lol He treats as Naturally as he can and he really does know his stuff. PM if you like otherwise Good Luck xx

Hi I have a question: does anyone know a really good doctor or alternative therapist that has good knowledge about FM? Any where in Australia is fine.

Dr Tim McCarthy is a pain specialist that I see in Boronia - I've only been going 2 months but he seems good. Lots of different things up his sleeve but I'm complicated as it not fibro alone but he might be good for you too. Gentle hugs Bec xx

I find bowen therapy a god send relief, as always everyone is different to what works & what doesn't. Im in Brisbane i see Tony@IntoBalance & honestly he's amazing( i was seeing him over the years for bad hips before fibromyalgia diagnosis) Look up Bowen Therapy & have a read. I find it a lot better than having an actual massage.
