I received this as a tidbit of "my new job" email.
The info inside however may help you a lot...
To: Cc: From: A. Marina Fournier Subject: [] My new employer: of possible use to some of you
My new employer, Dr. Gwen Stritter, is a consulting oncologist (specializing in breast cancers and what can follow) and chronic pain management/relief, is a patient advocate rather than a clinical physician. Her website, http://strittermed.org/, may prove useful to some of you, or someone you know.
She is a very compassionate listener and researcher--she offers services "beyond the second opinion". Located in San Mateo County, California, she deals with patients via email and phone. Her first consultation will be a 2 hour phone call once she has received pertinent medical data. What follows depends on the case. She does work on a sliding scale for those whose insurance does not cover her services, or for those in a strapped financial condition, esp. when it's from fighting with medical costs and fruitless searches for a better answer.

I figured since the FIBRO SUX more info can't hurt. (My wife's recent flare had her reaching for vicadin, it just took the edge off and made movement bearable)
