How can I consult a rheumatologist in my area?

Question

For several months now, I have been having muscle and joint pains, all over my body, it moves from one day to the next, but especially in my shoulders, arms and hands and in my lower back. It started all of a sudden 6 months ago and it's been getting worse since. Pain when moving and especially when resting. I don't sleep anymore!
