Well, I got fed up with my primary doc and I now have a new one and so far seem to like him and how he works. He did a full work over on me. I am borderline diabetic so he is starting me on metformin because he doesn't want me to become diabetic. He also is changing my migraine meds to Topamax and Axert. I have a really high pulse which I have always had and nobody ever thought to do something about it, GO FIGURE. So, now the tachycardia is going to be lowered by him putting me on Toprol. I also, surprise, surprise have high cholesterol so more meds for that and 81 mg. of Asprin because my body produces too many platelets and I don't want to get any blood clots . Just writing all this has given me a headache. Everytime I go to a doc I promise you they add to my diagnoses and give me more meds. I also saw the Rheumatologist and he sent me for tests which I don't know the results yet, but he thinks that I have Fibromalgia, which he will do nothing for because I am already on any medication that he would put me on. Now isn't that just sad.
I will be making an a appointment for a 2nd opinion to a Gastro doc that my PCP recommended within the next couple of weeks and he also wants me to go see a Psychiatrist to see if I am on the right meds or if they need to be changed. So, I guess I will need to figure out if I see them or keep seeing my Psychologist. So many physcians, so much money! BLAH

Hi Georgiana, I had just asked you a question from something you posted on the general Divi support side before I looked at your profile and read your story. I am so sorry about all of your pain and suffering. I was also diagnosed with divi in my thirties, but with me I think is genetic. My father had to have emergency surgery for divi when he was 39 and my sister has also had attacks since her thirties. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck and health. It seems like you have really had a long string of health nightmares. Have you considered completely cutting out wheat, glutten and diary? A friend of mine was diagnosed with Fibromalgia and that is what ended up helping her. Just a thought. I think your profile states you are a vegetarian (as am I) and cutting out wheat and dairy leaves you with practically nothing, but my friend swears that Divi is caused by a severe grain allergy. Just a thought, I have never been able to do it myself. Good luck.
