Managing Chronic Pain with Fibromyalgia
Ways to be proactive: Find the right doctor and have a pain dairy
As a patient who lives with chronic pain, the most important thing is that you find a doctor who you trust. Sometimes the doctor you have is not the right fit. Make sure you do some research on doctors in your area. Look at their patient ratings and pay special attention to where patients talk about how the doctor listens or how he or she made the patient feel. However, keeping a pain journal and using LOCATES can help keep your pain under control.
