Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Mandy and Allie, I also got sent to a shrink but I had already been diagnosed with the fibromyalgia. They never said I could have MS. I got sent to a shrink because I wasn't sleeping and I was having a hard time coping with this fibromyalgia along with 's CF. Who actually diagnosed me with fibro was a neurologist I went to for chronic headaches. I think my family doc suspected it but for some reason didn't want to be the one to diagnose it. After I was diagnosed I went to a rheumotolgist to confirm it and I only saw him two or maybe it was three times and he sent me back to my family doc, I don't see the neuro anymore either. I had an MRI too but it was one of those " open air " MRI's so it wasn't claustrophobic. Anywa, I take a lot of pills every day too (I haven''t even counted them all LOL). I am doing better now with the meds, getting better sleep and the water exercise plus the chiropractor helps too, I just started seeing the chiro a few weeks ago. I asked my regular doc first and he said he has no problem with it. Just my $0.02, Re: Mandy In a message dated 4/11/00 8:20:19 PM Eastern Daylight Time, hkauffman@... writes: << They never figured out what was going on with me, but over time most of the symptoms went away. >> this is the same way my hubbies did.......they tested him for MS sent him to a psycho. doc. trying to say it was all in his head...so we finally went back to his arthritis doc. and he confirmed it to be fibromyalgia.....now he is on about 13 pills a day and doing pretty well........ praying for ya YOUR FRIEND, ALLIE " When people are too tired to give you a smile, give them one of yours.
