Hi Luda- Sorry to hear you are struggling through this disease too.
I am seeing both a breast surgeon and a Rheumatologist. The Rheumatologist is the one who is overseeing the medication I am taking. I think there are medications that can help, although they are not the most fun options. Anyway, you might want to see a Rheumatologist if you want to explore medication options.
Take care and good luck!
