      From imaskeered August 26

      I just came across your post from February, thought I was reading my own profile! Have you found the neuropathy group? Very good information, I realized that just about everything that I have relates back to neuropathy. I've had so many dx's over the years, none of which had a cure. My endocrinologist made a thinly veiled insult in my direction last visit, something about the difference between those who were "truly ill" as opposed to those of the "worried well". I had never been so elegantly insulted, but insulted just the same. I really don't want to go back to him this year but I need the bloodwork and the prescription and he is a competent physician, a rare commodity in my area. I hope the last 6 months have brought some enlightenment/relief. Kind regards, Patti

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have migraines,I am tired most of the time,cloudy headed,and periods of disorientation.I do not sleep well,neck and back pain. I went to the neurologist and he tested me for tender points,and they was extremely painful,like bee stings.He said I reacted to all but one near my knee. Is this a definite diagnosis for fibro?I also have dry eye,hashimotos thyroiditis, interstital cystitis.I recently took some pred one day for asthma and noticed I felt great,and without it, very bad. Any ideas?
