Hi I suffer from Chronic Pain, I also have had type 1 Diabetes for 46 years.

I'm not convinced it's Chronic pain, I have a numb big toe and 4/5 worn spine and neck (I believe the Dr. has put me down as having Chronic Pain, due to this).

I am convinced it is Fibromyalgia, how do I get a second opinion?

    Heya @bulwiz and welcome to the community.

    Sorry to hear you're having to look for a second opinion. It can be as easy as just asking to speak to a different GP.

    You could ask your gp for a referral to a rheumatologist.

    My fibromyalgia was diagnosed by a rheumatologist and later confirmed by two others when I was going through an early ill health retirement process.
