complain

First of all, sorry for the length of this. So I had an appointment for my fibromyalgia. I've been told I have it but was getting some more tests ran. I've never seen this doctor before. She was nice at first (and remained 'nice' throughout the appointment). I say 'nice' because some of the...

My son is 10 years old and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease just over a year ago. His crohn's flared in December and since then he has developed several new and worrisome symptoms that have stumped his GI. -moderate abdominal pain that is centered around his belly button. (this can also be a...

Brand new here. Just diagnosed with FM on February 11. Still in partial denial I guess, but the diagnosis explains a lot of symptoms / complaints I have had for quite some time. My RA Doc was extrememly patient (and thorough) with me. The toughest part I have now is starting to realize it won't...

I just wanted to say hi. It's 5:15 in the morning and I'm still awake. I've been crying because of pain number one and secondly my son calls me a hypochondriac and my other son is hateful and disrespectful to me. I was diagnosed a year and a half ago and I was so relieved that I could put a name...

So yesterday morning I had a second appt. with my new pain doctor to assess how I was doing. I told him my goals were to get as healthy as possible so I could go back to work (which is financially necessary). In the alternative, I explained that I may have to file for disability. He asked me...

Hello all! I'm new to the thread and thought I'd introduce myself, vent and discuss because frankly I'm so annoyed I just want to scream. So bear with me. I've always felt a bit off medically. I was born with toxoplasmosis originally but got a then new, experimental treatment which 'cured' me...
