Caroline,
When I had to file for disability, my Rheumatologist filled out all of my paperwork. Then the State and Federal disability arms both required that I see their own doctors, which I did and I had no problems. I know it is different for each person and some of the member have hired Attorneys to assist them.
Our Rheumatologist just wrote a letter for my daughter, who is working, but due to her fibromyalgia she cannot work long hours or she is down for 2 to 3 days.
So, maybe they would accept a letter from your Rheumatologist or Primary Doctor.
I hope this helps!
