Neurologist doesn't believe in Fibromyalgia

I have been seeing a neurologist who tested me for nerve and muscle damage. There was none found in me. She questioned why the rheumy would put me on muscle relaxers because they cause the muscle to weaken and I have fatigue, I told her this was the 1st one to do it and it was supposed to help me sleep. She then went on to tell me she doesn't believe in fibromyalgia which I asked well what do u think than and she said she didn't know and that I couldn't be treated by her since her job is for muscles and nerves. I have always hated the fibro diagnosis because of the stigma that they can't find any other reason for the pain and now a dr. says this and it does depress me how about anyone else?
