one sided fibro pain

[Guest guest]

I was also told that fibro was equal sided but have found out that

isn't the case. I'm right handed but have most of my pain on the

left side. My right hand is involved but that's mostly it for the

right side. I still believe that there is more unknown about this

disease than what is actually known. Doctors differ in their beliefs

and then it depends too on what kind of doctor you talk to. My

rheumatologist says one thing, neurologist something else; I don't

think my family doctor puts much stock in this " so-called " disease.

One of my sons bought me two books:

The Fibromyalgia Help Book By Fransen RN and

I.Jon , MD Ph.D

Fibromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome By

Devin Starlanyl MD and

Ellen Copeland M.S.,M.A

These books have a lot of information in them and I use them

constantly but to get the " real " picture, it takes talking to people

like you who are living the pain. I'm so thankful I found this group

but wish we could all be friends under different circumstances! Am

glad this question generated such a response. Thanks much.
