Hi all, Well I'm off on Thursday to see the Dermatologists for the South West of England, so please send the positive 'vibes' that they'll be receptive and...
Hi Cynthia, Good luck for the pain clinic! Here's hoping you have a really good understanding doctor. Seems like we're both 'waking up' to the limitations of...
Hi Diana! While I am sorry you have this nasty disease, I am very glad you found out so soon and that your Dr. had the courage and sense to be willing to give...
Hi Everybody, I am back from taking care of my inlaws in Tucson Arizona. Since I was gone for 12 days, it took me awhile to catch up on the posts. You all...
Hi Judy!Thanks for the welcome! To answer your Question, my doctor ,an internist, has phoned me and told me he had spoken to co- doctors in Rotterdam, wich is...
Hi Diana, Other's here are probably a better sourse of info, especially Dorrit! She is DYNAMITE! but it seems that here in the USA people are either treated by...
I READ ALL OF THE POST ON HERE, BUT USUALLY HARDLY EVER POST, TOO TIRED. HAVE HAD A LOT GOING ON IN THE FAMILY, DAUGHER HAD WRECK, SON-IN-LAW HAD A WRECK ON...
Hi everyone, It has taken me a while to find the courage to write this down - and I'm sure you are all guessing why....... I went, quite happily, this morning...
-- Evening Feisty, Sorry it's been a hard day but first of al i'd like to say I think u should keep your name, it probably expresses Who u are and not what you...
Hi Vickie, You have had a rough time, haven't you? I will keep you and your family in my prayers, and hope your son-in-law does walk again. Many times they...
OK, cry, gnash your teeth, throw something, pound something...then regroup and start again! I went to one pain clinic that treated me exactly as you were...
Hi all, I know I have gained weight, and it isn't all the fault of the DD, I have been eating things I shouldn't, more out of boredom than anything, but that...
Dear Bev, Sounds like you were busy, but in a much more controlled way than in your last few posts. Brava! on healing and feeling more like your "old self"...
Greetings! Medicine is an art, not a science. There is a lot of science in medicine, but it truly takes art putting together all of that knowledge, doing the...
Dear friends, I am sorry I haven't been writing much lately. WELCOME to all the newbie's, sorry you have the "aliens". I had an app. with my Dr. today, and...
Greetings! One of the themes that runs through this board often is the fact that many of us are not getting adequate pain control. The subject line of this...
Hi Shari, Thanks for your kind words.... Unfortunately, here in Great Britain we have no choice of the Doctors we see and therefore, when you get stuck with...
Hi Cynthia, I do so feel for you... here's someone who's supposed to specialise in pain and belittles it by saying that FM is not real.. after all the...
Greetings! From Current Opinion in Rheumatology , I thought this article on "Exercise in Fibromyalgia" looked interesting for some of us. It made me think of...
Hi Sharon, I have calmed down a bit - although for some strange reason I am in agony again tonight! I got the biopsy report through from Feb op and it was an...
Hi.....I have been diagnosed with FM and I am seen at a pain clinic that so far has been very caring. I just have never felt that my only problems are FM. I...
First of all not sure if this is going to post twice as just went 'strange' on me, so apologies if it does! Well it was a very impersonal experience today....
Dear Elaine, The one thing I do not see in what you describe is any "lumps." The lipomas, or fatty tumors, can be any size from that of a grain of rice, to...
Dora, I agree with you! It does seem, though, that too many of the doctors have been hampered by malpractice (either their own or someone else's) and ruled by...
Dear Skip, Wow! Your experience was somewhat different from mine. I was seen by 70 doctors/residents over a 4-hour period. They asked me most of the...
Hi Judi,…….I sure can relate about the mini spasms. I have them all the time, and now in most of my muscles. Especially my legs and back. I too have gained...
Hi,....I had a Dr. once that worked for private practice and then the clinic got bought by an HMO. It was the HMO that set up the time of how much the Dr.'s...
Dear Judi, I am right there with you.. But, I do believe that the issue does not lie solely with the doctors. The insurance industry, and the status of health...
