Ok, So anyone who has read my journal knows I have been in a ton of pain lately. I am waiting to see a really good rhuemotologist in December and get some tests done for lupus(I developed a weird rash also).
So tonnight I go to see my psychiatrist like I do every 2 months for my anxiety and we discuss how I am so depressed from the pain and all. He goes on to tell me that all this pain including the sciatica is from stress thats it! I told him I started getting stressed and depressed from the pain and he insisted it's the stress giving me pain. I know stress can give you pain but I was fine until a couple of months ago when the pain started getting unbearable. I just can't believe it. I have been in pain for so many years but not like this and it is getting to my head. I don't even know why I bother going to any type of Doctor anymore. I am so angry.
Sorry to complain and thanks for reading
God Bless,

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I'll be thinking about you. Take care now and BREATH!!!
Don't throw out all doctors because this one is ignorant. Keep searching for a doctor that treats and understands fibro. I had a few that didn't but found a good one one the third try. Hugs, Keleee :)
I agree that the pain causes stress and since we now have pain, the stress increases the pain - but it is NOT the cause of it. When will doctors get that!!!
