Saw the rheumatologist today and she confirmed what my PCP had diagnosed which is fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. She did an extensive exam including blood work and x-rays of my neck and shoulders. She recommended some changes in medication and perhaps some aqua therapy. I am looking forward to doing the aqua therapy because I feel it would go along way towards soothing the tension in my neck, shoulders, and arms. She also recommended that I see a pulmonary doctor to address my sleep apnea. I have a hard time wearing the mask throughout the night. Apparently I pull it off in my sleep.
I feel like all I do now is go from one doctor to the next. I know what the problem is but there doesn't appear to be a "cure" for it. I guess it is just one of things that you have to learn to deal with in life.
Thanks for listening. Any comments or recommendations would be appreciated.
