Guest guest Posted May 9, 1999 Report Share Posted May 9, 1999 Ken, as always you are right. I'm living in the same body as before, with the same symptoms, what matters is not the name of the condition, but the success in treating the symptoms. At the moment I have found some ways to treat some of the symptoms. It is the ones that I haven't found an answer to for treatment that are the problem. Even specialists discount the amount of pain we relate to them, as if we are overstating the issue or whining about it. God forgive them, but I wish each and everyone of them a chronic pain disorder, even if for only a few months or a year. I'm not being sadistic, I just think it would greatly improve their " bedside manners.

I figure the laws would be better if they suffer long enough..anyone can live for a year with it...but by the five years...they would vote anything that was an improvement in.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 1999 Report Share Posted May 10, 1999 Howdee and Welcome! I have relatives in Asheville, and was raised in Spruce Pine. Have an acre of land in those beautiful mountains and dream about living there someday. *S* Good to hear that PT's can do massage therapy, as that is one thing that helps me a lot w/ my CFS.

I dunno about Mad, but I would love any and all links you could send my way. I am compiling a list of stuff to take in to my doc.
