Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 Hi Marty, yes it is, if they are trying to understand that is a good thing. My Family Doc is wonderful, but very rushed when I see him. My Rheumy doesn't say much about the Fibro, seems to focus on the Psoriatic Arthritis. More and more info is coming out everyday, so I am so hoping that soon we will have our answers !!! Jeanette Jeanne Jeanne, I highly value the knowledge of doctors - but I also value myself and know that it is my body and ONLY I really know how I feel. They can only treat me by what I tell them (in most of our cases). Unless it's a stroke, heart attack - something they are really trained in we must help them understand our " unknown " illnesses. And if they don't believe me - or understand what I'm trying to describe - they aren't helping. Finding a doc that cares - and knows is tough. I have one that cares, but she doesn't know much about any of my illnesses. But I do know she's been on line looking a bit - and that's a good thing. Marty Quote
