I haven't seen a doctor of any sorts except a massage therapist, a midwife for the birth of my son, and a chiropractor here and there until this past winter when I established care with a new doctor.
How would you go about discussing fibro/cfs with a new doctor.:shock:
I kind of have a little bit of a game plan. The pain is not really the big issue for me as much as the fatigue. Headaches are a big issue and I feel like I need something to rely on in the case that I need it, but don't need something on a daily basis for pain. So I don't think I'm going to look like a drug seeker. Imitrex that they gave me(my second visit with her) 2 weeks ago isn't working. And I know there are other things out there that we can try. She seems like a caring doctor, but I have had a bad experience with a doctor before when I tried to discuss fibro.
I am hoping there is some kind of something we can do for the fatigue. It has seriously changed my quality of life at 40 and I have two young children. My 85 year old grandmother is more active than I am.
And something new this week, I have a rib that keeps popping out so add tietze ? syndrome to the long list. My massage therapist popped it back in Thurs, My husband Fri and today. It's out again, so after this message I am going to ask him to do it again.
I have been keeping a daily journal of how I feel physically, emotionally and self care measures to take with me on the 21 when I see her again.
TIA for any advice.
