doctors

So I'm pretty sure we can't have a "wall of shame" board for all the dictors (doctors) we have almost all ran into. But now after another move to another state it would be great to be able to see a list of doctors that other CFS/FMS patients have had good treatment from. When my...

I have and still do experiment with medications, food ( add or subtract ) rubs, tubs, massage and other hands on modalities, and other things. One of my PCP doctors loves what I do and report back to him, the other HATES my experimentation and often reads me the riot act. The later doctor also...

I've asked a number of people including doctors if the remember how it used to be when ER's were only used for serious emergencies? Much to my surprise very few people recalled anything being different than it is now which is to say: if you can see your doctor or get an appointment with A...

I read this on Women's Health Although the causes of fibromyalgia are not known, several factors may be involved in its development; these include traumatic events or accidents, repetitive injuries, illness, and certain diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and spinal arthritis). The...

My massage therapist was the first to mention the possibility that Fibro may be what is causing my pain and tightness in my muscles. Ironically, I went to massage school some years ago and we were schooled a little about "WOMEN" with Fibro. One of the male instructors went so far to say that...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I've posted on here. Since my last flare I've been doing alright, I've had my good and bad days but on a whole have been doing a lot better than I was doing. Half term week this week, so have had a week off of work, and weirdly this is where I think I have now...

I find this quite interesting. I do have all 3 and more and went true lots of tests and it took more than one doctors or hospital before it leaded to the last doctor of mine who used all the other reports combined with his own round of tests. Needless to say I was confused and not very happy...

I am almost 40. And it is only now that I am beginning to learn that many body aches and pains I thought were 'normal' are not normal whatsoever. I've always woken up feeling exhausted, hated going to school because of the early mornings. I thought I'd grow out of it. But it was the same when...

Hi! Wishing everyone comfort and Happy Mother's Day to the mother's! Here's my question: I'm pretty sure my doctors are right that I have fibromyalgia based on my symptoms, except two things still puzzle me. Does anyone else get better on prednisone? This has happened several times for me over...

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2005 and have been disabled since then. I only recently found these forums, but the timing is good. I just moved from North Carolina to Washington, so I lost what little support network I had. I'm much closer to family though, and that's a huge improvement...
