Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Hello all. This is my first post. I'm pretty sure I have FM but have not been diagnosed. I have almost all the symptons, so is there any point in going to a doctor, if I could find one? I have been pretty much free of symptoms for about 6 months, then I came down with a cold or flu on Monday. By Tuesday I felt like my back was on fire. Everything hurts. I'm dizzy, can't think, can't sleep, feel weird. Six months ago, every part of my body hurt. I went to a rheumatologist and focused on my knee problems with her. She prescribed Celebrex and an excercise. I took one Celebrex that night and couldn't believe the difference when I woke up-night and day. ANyone here take Celebrex? So today I refilled my prescription. Am I worried about dropping dead of a heart attack from Celebrex? No, I'm not that lucky. Anyway, I would love to go to a knowledgable doctor in NY (by which I mean Manhattan). Anyone know of one? I am in my last WEEK of law school and I am 53 years old. I look youngish but feel like I'm about 200. I creak around, hate it. Can anyone give me a reasonable explanation about how making my food intake perfect will help me get better? I eat fairly well but I've always been of the belief that a little sugar here and there is not going to kill me. Anyone tried the Guerfenisin (not sure if that's right) treatment that makes you feel worse? -Ivy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
