I have a question concerning my mother... She is 52 yrs old and has been in good health until she was injured on the job last June. The doctors have told her she has fibromyalgia. In the injury she received a blow to the left side of her head along with other injuries.

She has been told she has now has Temperal artitis.. which she had slight lost of vision in her left eye and was placed in the cardaic unit where her heartbeat was 40 and pausing, the vessel inflamed from the brain to the heart and may now have to have a pacemaker.

The doctors here seem quite unsure how to treat fibromyalgia and we are not sure with everything going on with her now is part of the diease.

Are there any doctors in the southeast that can treat firbromyalgia? Or where does my mother need to go to recieve help?

This diease is getting worse and worse and she is receiving no help.....

Thank you for you helps
