Guest guest Posted August 18, 2000 Report Share Posted August 18, 2000 Went to my doc today....expecting to get diagnosed with fibro....especially since my dad has it. I've got all the signs and symptoms, etc. etc. I'm sure you know the drill. I'd like to get some feedback on what I was told. First she told me that from what I was telling her that it sounded like depression but that she wanted to do some blood work to rule out anything else. She prescribed Naproxen for the pain in my hands, neck and back and wants me to come back in a week to review the bloodwork and decide where to go from there. She said that if nothing showed up in the bloodwork that it was probably depression and she would prescribe me something for that next week if the bloodwork was OK...she then gave me this info sheet on depression that I did have a lot of the symptoms that it listed....but those are symptoms of fibro as well...so I'm confused. The impression that I got from her was that she wasn't even considering fibro as a possibility. Should I go to another doctor for a second opinion or just go with what she's saying for now?? I think I probably would have been put on an anti-depressant even if it is fibro so I'm not sure how to feel about all of this. Feedback please. Thanks.
