New GP / Terri/ Fibro etc.

[Guest guest]

When I interviewed this doc , I spoke at legnth with his PA & one of my first

questions was if he believed & diagnosised Fibro. Next day by mutual agreement

WE decided it would be a good match... Dr & me.

I researched MS ( mayo clinic , MSfoundation) and there are 4 types or

stages... But it does sound similar to fibro in all but last two( progessive)

stages. I can see why doc would think of MS. But I too still lean more towards

Fibro.

Friday, was busy as Fridays for me usually are... Ending with dinner in

Tulsa with friends & Hubby shopping at Bass Pro. My blood sugar crashed hard in

afternoon but other than that I managed Friday quite well. Then got up EARLY

sat morning( dark-thirty) aftr only 1 hr sleep. Went turkey hunting with Hubby

in lite rain. Felt fine and was fun! Ate lunch on way home... And then all hell

broke loose! Immediate Naseau, diarrhea,( prolly lost 10 pounds!)and PAIN ! Of

course by evening was dehydrated & had MOST horrible leg cramps ever! Skipped

another social event( crawfish boil uggh! with Hubby's Boss)did I say that

weekends wear me out?? That I spend Mon's resting?? Now it's noon Sunday and

still PAIN. I think my back is gonna break, hips, and leg muscles feel like flu!

But this is how I feel Often ! Tired! And fixin to bake bread for the upcoming

week... ( Dearest Hubby is spoiled LoL)

New Doc gave me a presc for( generic) Gabapentin 300 mg. For seizures- blocks

brain receptors from recognizing and sending pain signals. To take at bedtime...

It's scarey cause it's so strong and is a depressant. Will take first one

tonite.

So, yes, I still think Fibro... but if Doc believes in Fibro, knows about

Hcv & fibro & thought of MS instead....I'm confused again. So hard to know what

to think and when " proffesionals " are misleading or actually onto something !

Sorry about this Novel but I am jus' really confused...
