Hope this helps, Sydney Need a Doctor Can anyone recommend a physician that treats FMS and CFS like Dr. Chenny does, but in Michigan? Where can I find a state listing of such a physician? What do I look under? Thanks in advance, Laurie B in MI This list is intended for patients to share personal experiences with each other, not to give medical advice.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi - others on the board may be able to tell you about a specific fibro-familiar doctor in your area. Here is a link, below, to a Michigan-Good Doctor List. I hope this can help you get started in locating an empathetic doctor. What the University doctor said to you is beyond belief. Sooo sorry you had to endure such emotional abuse. Try to let go of the (understandable) anger you are feeling. Although, I would feel angry, too! I have been through similar experiences. The anger will pass. Just give it time. It was the doctor who did not express herself appropriately. She released (and projected) on to you her own pent-up negative emotions. If she could see herself (her unenlightened behaviour) in the clear light of day I think she would be horrified. I am sure she would not want to see one of her own family members treated in the same way. Rest up, relax, and try to keep warm. Take very good care of yourself. Let us all know if there is anything else you need. Hugs 'n Smiles, Carlene.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Tell your DO to send you to another RA. Explain why. Then e-mail or call your insurance company tell them this RA didn't give you a full exam at all and she wasn't very professional either. Like others I do hit high C to my doctors even my husband Doctors. He calls me pit bull/cotton mouth.Yes ,I have been known to raise my voice . But most of all we need to be our own health care advocate. Read up learn we can all about our condition for we are all different, what works for one wont work for another one. But ask your insurance company for another RA in your area. you can go to www.fmnetnews.com or www.fmaware.org for doctors even check our site in our database OK. I feel for you but I have tons of other problems next to fibro I am a Survivor and learn all i can about my condition research learn about medicines too.I am also prior medical too so I can understand the lingo too. But I feel for you .But please get another Dr and let your insurance company know you were not given the full exam pulse you need another RA who knows about fibromyalgia. Hugs Prayers and best of luck Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
