So many of you want to find physicians in your area. You can request that from this network, as well as support groups in or around your area. Support groups are good in that you can meet others from your area, and ask them who they see so you can begin your search for a physician. The address is:

Federal government sponsors 14 research and treatment centers nationwide for research on and treatment of multipurpose arthritis and musculoskeletal disease. The centers should contain FM units. (If they don't, they should - our tax dollars at work.) I don't know how good the centers are or how extensive the types of treatment are. They are something we should be familiar with - I believe that a Federal facility can't turn anyone away. Those who do not have a center anywhere near might want to discuss the matter with their Congress critters.
