Discussion: I turned to my attending physician in an attempt to improve my diet. He did not attribute much importance to the issue and sent me to a nutritionist. I was surprised!

It should be emphasized that the phenomenon you describe is not only related to fibromyalgia patients.

Physicians have little time per patient and are not interested in devoting their precious time to nutritional issues. Many doctors lack extensive knowledge in nutrition; for those who request, and in vital cases, they often prefer to send the patient to nutritionists.
