I have been experiencing all the symptoms of fibro, i went to see my gp who has put me on duloxetine tablets twice a day. I have done the widespread pain indwx and symptoms severity score for fibro which both highlight that is what i am suffering from.
My gp has now referred me to a rheumatologist clinic.please can you help me, what will happen there and what do they do.

Following. I'm waiting for an appointment too. I'm assuming they will take a detailed history, do a physical exam, maybe some blood tests (if your doctor hasn't already). Sometimes they might order x rays or mri's to rule out other things..
