General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Blood Drawing: These may include standard testing that your personal physician or internist might have drawn already (in which case Dr. Caro can skip these). But, it likely that many of the test that Dr. Caro will order are meant to test your immune system. These tests go by the name of sedimentation rate (a measure of inflammatory change in your blood), anti-nuclear antibody ( for a description of ANA click here ), rheumatoid factor (a measure of your tendency to develop an immune disorder called rheumatoid arthritis ), and similar names. If any of these show positive results (that is, they show a tendency to that problem) then Dr. Caro will explain that to you at your second visit.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is one of the most common, painful problems to afflict Americans (It is also found worldwide!). If you have Fibromyalgia the chances are that one of your friends or relatives will too, or they will at least know someone else with fibromyalgia.
Rheumatology
Dr. Caro was born and raised in the United States, and did his undergraduate work at the University of Southern California. His medical school training was at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) ( http://www.ucsf.edu/ ). His post-graduate training in Rheumatology ( what is a rheumatologist? ) was at the University of California at Los Angeles. He is a Founding Member of the American College of Rheumatology. Rheumatologists, as you may know have a special interest in auto immune diseases and fibromyalgia.
Sleep Disorders
Sleep Disorders: Most FM patients have a history of insomnia despite their chronic fatigue. Most describe awakening at night because of being so uncomfortable in bed.
Family Practice
Punch type skin biopsies are often all that is necessary, and are usually done in the leg area. They are usually 3 mm in diameter (about 1/8th of an inch), and about 2 mm deep. There are very few, if any, risks to a skin punch biopsy, although we have seen an occasional patient who failed to mention, or did not know that they were allergic to adhesive tape used to cover the biopsy site.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Many FM patients have complaints of IBS ( click here and enter the words "Irritable Bowel Syndrome" if you want to learn more about IBS).

Depression
Insomnia
Anxiety

MRI
Brain or Other Scanning: At times Dr. Caro may need to order special scans of the brain (an organ that takes a lot of beating in fibromyalgia). These might include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), functional scanning with SPECT, or electrical mapping with Quantitative Electrical testing (QEEG; quantitative electroencephalogram).
