[wto1] fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

Deanna-

What is an N.M.D.? I see a regular physician monthly

for pain medication. He is willing to do disability

paperwork (many won't) and goes to pain conferences

and his wife also has fibro. I saw a rheumatologist

and another specialist and a pain management dr and

they didn't have anything to suggest and didn't really

want to treat me. I have not given up -- I just have

to pace myself so I can manage, but it is frustrating.

The fatigue is bad, but the pain is worse. Thank you

for your suggestions and support -- I appreciate it.

Holly

Hi Holly,

Welcome! I just wanted to say that I have a relative

who is in her early 70s who was diagnosed with

fibromyalgia. She has given up completely. It is a

very sad situation. Despite doing what her M.D.

has recommended, she has continued to go downhill.

So if you have not already done so, I would suggest

considering exploring other options to get yourself

treated. Obviously, money is a concern for you, so I

don't know how much you could really do with this.

When it comes to something like autoimmune problems, I

think an N.M.D. can generally be much more helpful.

I wanted to suggest that in case you hadn't tried it

or thought of it. I have not had fibromyalgia, but I

clearly have some kind of adrenal burnout, so I have a

fraction of an idea of how difficult it can be to

function when you feel so so tired. And you know what

doesn't help with that either? Stress, of course!

I wish you the best with that and hope you can find

ways to improve your condition and start feeling

better.
