Try Homeopathic Arnica Montana 30C for muscle soreness. For upper

body back pain, try Homeopathic Cimicifuga Racemosa 30C. I have a

link about that, which I will have to find.

Could you find another doctor? Or could you go to a pain clinic?

-Ask your primary physician for a referral, after you have found a

pain clinic that believes in Fibromyalgia. The same goes for a

physical therapist. Ask them ahead of time if they believe in Fibro.

Believe me, a lot of therapists don't believe, and a lot of docs

thinks its AIYH. I have found it very helpful seeing a particular PT

who does myofascial release therapy for fibro pain.

, you have the right to interview a physician to make sure

they believe in Fibro.

Did u have deep tissue massage??? dash

Saw pdoc today and asked about pain meds

- Jen

Hey there,

I saw my psychiatrist today and went in with my list of meds that you all

helped me make. She was okay with the anti-inflammatory drugs and the

muscle relaxers. I am already taking Clonipan and Wellbutrin, so that took

care of them. But she nixed all pain meds! She said that they were

depressants and addictive and once you went down that road there was no

turing back, so she didn't want me to begin that path. So she wants me to

find " alternatives " to deal with the pain = chiropractors, massage,

relaxation techniques, etc.

So what am I supposed to do now? This just gives my rheumy the excuse he

was looking for! And I am in so much pain right now I can barely walk. My

dear husband has already massaged as long as his hands could hold out. I

can't take my supplements until after my surgery for my deviated septum next

month. I can't afford massage therapy all the time. I went to the

chiropracter for 3 month 3 times a week and felt no better.

I am so discouraged.

, it's so much work. Plus you have to advocate for yourself.

You have to say 'no' to docs that can't give you what you need. There

are plenty of doctors, everywhere. Finding the right one, is the key.

I have to do so much research on my health problems. Then share that

info with my NPN. She says she doesn't have enough time to do the

reading.
