I am an M.D. and just joined the Forum. I was diagnosed 20 years ago with Chronic Fibro and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. I also have sleep problems at the third most intense of the components that I carry with me all day,, every day.
I have studied this complex condition as both a physician and a patient. It is easy for me to approach the other Docs and discuss the problems and I have experience from both sides.
I might be able to help out those of you who are confused by your symptoms, disgusted with the Medical profession, and just feel that they are trapped by the Monster.
I will be here from time to time and offer my perspectives and share my knowledge if anybody is interested. I won't be here every day.
I find it so ridiculous that so many people all over the world complain of the same problems. It's like all these people got together to create a 'made up' ailment so that their lives can be worse. That was sarcasm,,because FMS, etc. is a real entity. As physicians, we like to see proof in a lab report or a physical finding but we all complain of similar invisible symptoms. The condition is slowly making its way into the medical community but the average doctor doesn't have a clue to how it feels to have our lives ruined.
The Medical community is slow to believe in FMS, are afraid to treat it,,, and don't like unhappy patients sitting in their waiting rooms. However, we must educate ourselves and take advantage of the truth to serve ourselves and keep looking for a medical 'believer' as I am.
Anyway, I'm happy to join this forum. I've been on all the meds, tried the recommendations, and keep up with the literature. I predict that a treatment will surface along with a diagnostic test. It may wind up to be a virus which is making chemicals in our bodies or caused a change in how we interpret nervous messages that makes us feel the way we do.
Work hard to keep your relationships and don't let it destroy your loved ones. Try to make the best of what you can do.
