Fibromyalgia

Do you live with widespread pain, constant fatigue or a feeling of “brain fog” that just won’t lift? You’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone. Fibromyalgia is a genuine, often misunderstood condition that can take years to diagnose on the NHS, leaving many people searching for answers.

At Sussex Private GP Clinic in Crawley, we offer prompt, thorough investigation and diagnosis, so you can finally understand what’s going on and start moving towards the right treatment.

 

Understanding Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes pain and tenderness throughout the body, alongside symptoms such as extreme tiredness, poor sleep, difficulty concentrating and low mood. Because these symptoms overlap with many other conditions, fibromyalgia can be difficult to pin down, and many patients are told their tests are “normal” without ever getting a clear explanation.

Left undiagnosed, fibromyalgia can also affect your mental wellbeing, so if you’re struggling, it’s worth exploring whether stress or a related condition could be playing a part too.

The clinic is led by Dr Sarah Ameen, an experienced General Practitioner with a passion for providing outstanding, patient-focused care.

Sussex Private GP ClinicHow We Can Help

At Sussex Private GP Clinic, we take the time to properly investigate your symptoms rather than rushing to conclusions. Our approach is thorough, compassionate and tailored entirely to you.

This might include:

  • A detailed consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history and their impact on daily life.
  • Blood tests and other investigations to rule out conditions such as arthritis, thyroid disorders or vitamin deficiencies that can mimic fibromyalgia.
  • A physical examination to assess pain points and overall function.
  • A clear, honest diagnosis once other causes have been excluded.
  • A personalised treatment plan covering pain management, sleep, lifestyle and referral for specialist support where appropriate.
