Need a little support. Going tomorrow to find out what my "treatment plan" is going to be. Even though I was "officially" diagnosed with Fibro 3 weeks ago, I have lived with it since at least 2005 or before. After research, I think I have had it since I was a kid. Although I have been praying for years for a diagnosis, Now that I have Ins., I admit I am a little nervous! On one hand, I can't wait to see if my Rheumy really can get my pain level down, and help with the fatigue,fibro fog,stiffness(I tested neg.for any arthritis)and etc. I am actually taking my poor husband along in case I get Foggy Froggy and can't get back home! Lol! All of this new stuff makes me feel like a Newbie, but I also feel like a Fibro Veteran from tolerating it sooo long. I have burning,aching pain that is mainly worse in my neck,shoulders,lower back,hips,etc. that engulfs my whole body 24/7. I get what I affectionately(Not!)call"Burning Neck Migraines" that ended me in the ER once,where they gave me morphine and Phenergan. My Dentist says I am describing bad TMJ that I have. I have Lived with sinusitis. Iv'e been on antihistamine of one or the other since I was 13 to prevent hives. I have asthma. I get stressed,drown in Fibro Fog sometimes,and grouch at my hubby. I will turn 50 this year. That said, Does anyone remember your first "treatment plan"? I know everyone is different, but wondering what I should/can expect. I should also mention that I like my Rheumy,and I think I can trust.He is very gentle. Thanks for any input! Soft hugs!
