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...
The reason "doctors" tell you it is psycho-symatic is because they are failures at doing what they should have been trained to do in at medical school. Learn the facts, research the possible reasons, to the testing and come up with a LOGICAL, HUMANE, and SENSITIVE method of TREATING the patient.
I have witnessed too many of these fakers and have not given them the previledge of earning anything from my Insurance Company.
I would trust a Veteranarian to treat me before going to some human doctors. A vet can treat a dog, cat or horse without having to listen to them tell them how they feel.
They DO ALOT OF HARM by treating us like this?!?!?
I'm sorry it just gets me so p---ed off....
Please let us know when you find a new doc who will give you the relief you deserve. I want to know you're OK!?!?!?
Hugs...

I put up a post w/ the link to the video I mentioned in case you wanted to check it out. Wait till you get to the "abberant behaviors" part... I think Drs just wait till we display this (through no fault of our own!) in order to bounce us out. Soooo unfair! >:/
At that apt. (at least i think it was that one, or maybe it was the 2nd apt. with him) he put me on the morphine patch. Told me if i had any problems to call. Patch didnt work so he switched me to ms contin, along with many other meds. He has always tried to keep my pain under control, is very kind, and I always felt like he really cared. He knows im not a drug seeker. When i went in to see him monday, i asked myself sitting in his damn office crying to him, who the hell is this man? This is not my rheumo!
And it all stems from a gosh darned medical conference he went to that was all about fibro. He told me that all docs are learning more about fibro and that the only med that will be prescribed eventually by most docs for fibro is lyrica as is the only fda approved med and that its been proven that narcotics do not help fibro, he told me that the reason i was in a flare right now was from the ms contin and that if he took as much ms contin as i did he would be laying on the floor passed out.
I just lost it, i told him i couldnt go off my narcotics and work and take care of my kids.
I am on the hunt for info to prove him wrong about the narcotics not helping us, if he takes me off all of my meds but the neurontin and xanax im going to another doc, either that or i will end up going to work under the influence of a controlled and illegal substance. And i dont give a crap anymore.
I know the feeling, the only thing i can suggest is we need to try and find another doc, if they feel we r seeking meds we need to somehow prove to them this pain and how exactly it makes me feel.
My rheumo told me that the ms contin doesnt come any higher than 100 mg but that high of a dose i only given to patients that are dying. After the fact i found out later hes full of it.
Hang in there, i know its a pain but we need to go on a ew hunt for a doc.
We can cry together ok? god knows thats all ive done all week and am hurting so badly from overdoing it today at work.
What does he want u to go see a councelor for? what good is that going to do in regards to getting your pain level down?
Hang in there.
Some medical experts somewhere dont truly know what fibro is, and or what we go thru so they are pushing it aside, at least that i what my take on all of this is, it just seems that the medical community all over is just not getting it!
Sad, very sad.
Let us know when you find a new doc, and hang in there. We're all with you and will help in any way we can.
