This article hit home with me. My neurologist has been more helpful with

treating my fibro more than any rhuematologist that's treated me so far.

Should Rheumatologists Be Treating Fibromyalgia? And If Not, Then Who?

Dear

The 3 New Jersey rhuematologists:

The 1st one didn't have a decent knowledge of Fibromyalgia.

The 2nd one gave me antidepressants and told me to see a psychologist.

The 3rd one gave me painkillers & lidoderm patches which helped a little but I

was drowsy all day in addition to the other Fibromyalgia symptoms he didn't

address.

I gave up and went to my GP for advice and he recommended a New York neurologist

who understood Fibromyalgia and treated my sleeping problems, headaches,

fibrofog and muscular pain. I still live with Fibromyalgia but I no longer spend

all day in bed or on the sofa. The first time in many years.

Take Care

Chelsea,

What kinds of things is the neurologist doing or prescribing that is making you

feel so much better?

I'd love to " get off the couch " more often!

Hi! The neurologist put me on a small amt of Topamax daily, vitB & Kutapressin

shots every 3 days (I give myself), removal of trigger foods from my diet,

Imitrex when needed, a Myers Cocktail once a mont & a change in my daily

supplements/vitamins.

This regimen has made a true difference in my health. I wish it would help

everyone but I know each body responds differently and each sufferers'

combination of symptoms vary.

Best of luck xoxo

Chelsea,

What were your trigger foods...if I may ask?  I tried Topamax--couldn't tolerate

it...started making my eyes weird so I was pulled off of it immediately.  What

are Kutapressin shots? Which supplements have you found to help you the most?

Thanks,

Lynn
