Re: ( ) Intro

You are really lucky to be alive. How did your doctors not dx your gall bladder

problem for so long? It really should have been more obvious to any doctor who

was alert. I get angry at these things as it often seems that those of us with

FM et al get a very short shrift with doctors. They seem to ignore all of our

symptoms or just chalk them up to the FM/CFS whatever. I wonder how many

patients with these " syndromes " have died from something totally unrelated that

would have been dx'd immediately in someone else? That's why I am so grateful

for my own PCP.

I'm glad everything worked out in the end, but very sad you had to go through

all those months of needless suffering.

I hope your pain meds are working. I know they will never bring your pain level

down to a " 0 " , but a little relief is better than none.

Peace and Love
