Forgot to mention . . .
I did get a referral to a rheumatologist. My appointment is next month. When I explained that I needed a diagnosis confirmed by a specialist in case I decided to file for disability, the doctor agreed to refer me. She said she would put it down as a "second opinion" referral.
I'll be interested to see what a rheumatologist will say.

With a "second opinion" referral, will your insurance cover subsequent visits? You could also tell the GP that even though she doesn't know how to help you, it's possible the specialist would. (This is, after all, the point of having specialists; I'm thinking a GP that doesn't recognize this has some things to learn.)
