Summary
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Michael Mueller, M.D. Fibromyalgia is a chronic health problem commonly seen in a primary care setting. It can be challenging to diagnose and even more so to manage. It can have a devastating effect on a patient’s lifestyle, and patients will commonly go from provider to provider seeking relief for their chronic symptoms. We now have a better understanding of the pathophysiology of fibromyalgia; unfortunately, the treatment remains less than optimal. What do we know regarding the cause of the symptoms in fibromyalgia? How can we efficiently establish a diagnosis in patients with the condition without excessive testing? How do we explain the disorder to patients and what’s the long-term outlook for patients? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Michael Mueller, an internist in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Fibromyalgia”.
