Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I talked to Dr. Whitcomb last summer. I was diagnosed with FMS/CFS and later found out I had underlying Lyme and several co-infections. Dr. Whitcomb said this is typical for people with fibro and that he was getting results. I haven't seen him or done his program, basically because I've spent so much and don't know that I can try another expensive treatment that may or may not work. If you do try his treatment, I'd like to hear your results. New here from Canton Ohio now living in Orlando area of Florida > Hey all > > I have had this crap since I was about 10.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 My last doctor got in my face and would not give me anymore meds he set me to a pain doctor who told me I needed to deal with my past traumas. I don't bother with doctors too much anymore and am afraid to say the word Fibro to them for fear I'm get bitched out and called a physco. So I understand and I sorry you are suffering too no one knows what we go through but us. Whitcomb capitalizes on that fact and sound like a genuine believer but hey there are so many money grubbers out there it's hart to tell who to trust. I use a little test which pisses them off because I ask the hard questions and I usually get blown off like I did with whitcomb staff of volunteers. Hope all go's well for you....Dying is only are extension of life. I have no-one not even a support network anymore I keep to myself and wait for my time to end so I can go to the better plain of living. My prayer to the creator is to take me from this greedy plain of existence to a better non physical plain where I / We are not burdened with the physical realm anymore. No kids no family that cares anymore I just taking up space. I can't even get SSI because I haven't worked in several years and SS says I have to devoice my wife to get benefits. I don't want to bum people out here so if I am just let me know I try to be more sensitive but as for me I'm ready to exit and if my wife didn't need me for support and wasn't hear I'd be gone. 42 years is a long long time to be ill... > > > > Hey all > > > > I have had this crap since I was about 10.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 hello nohype3 I don't know your name but you sound very depressed. If you can't get SSI then maybe the state will pay for some counseling. Have you tried spiritual counseling? You also sound very very angry, and usually depresssion can be caused by anger, and that anger/depression will keep all diseases alive in any person. You need to get counseling to begin to process your anger and let it go. You anger might be replaced with gratitude. You could practice gratitude every day it takes a while but eventually it might replace your anger. Osteen has a book on it as do others. Dennis Prager has wonderfu book about how its our duty to life on this earth to be happy. they are on amazon.com so if you choose to find them they are they and not expensive either. Gratitude is a wonderful technique for re-shaping our mind, even if we can't re-shape our bodies. You can be grateful because you still walk, because you have a wife who loves you, you also have a home, you have eyes to see, you live in a peaceful country where you are not threatened daily with bombings or raids. I have a friend in africa who does live like that and she knows many many people who have lost limbs etc. Her life is a daily threat to her and she is so in awe of our country. she helps me be grateful. A wise man once said, if you want to make a sick man walk, give him somebody to help. Can you find somebody to help? You could be a pen pal to someone suffering from pain, or in another country, or in an orphanage. maybe we can't get out of the house but we can still help others over the internet. Could you put your pain to use? Could you teach others what its like to overcome pain even when its still there? People who have been through a lot of pain can use it as a mission in life Your experience with pain is there for a reason, and somehow you can help others with it. I hope this is not offensive to you. I too have been in pain for most of my life. A course in miracles helped me with the pain tremendously. I still live in pain and can't work, but I feel so much better from doing that course. its not expensive and you do it at home. I try to help one person every day and that gives me a lift. I need that lift every day. P.S. also as an afterthought, have you ever asked your doc about thryoid hormones? that could account for many of your emotions as well. good luck rosemarie > My last doctor got in my face and would not give me anymore meds he > set me to a pain doctor who told me I needed to deal with my past > traumas.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hey Tim I am in orlando fl too so feel free to email me if you are looking for some help god bless, heathe4r New here from Canton Ohio now living in Orlando area of Florida Hey all I have had this crap since I was about 10. My body froze up and I spent month in a hospital with Iv's and antibiotics... was mis diagnosed a few hundred times since then with Adhd depression manic and bipolar. Hormones imbalances. I finally figured it out myself after exhausted research after being rear ended and symptoms got worse. I also read Dr. Whitcombs info who had done his research and realized I wasn't nutz or useless. Like many of you I lost everything. family friends money investments etc. Now I'm hoping to find someone with a real treatment but am just now realizing there is a whole culture of scam artist a whole cottage industry of wonderful capitalist hoping to cash in on our misery. I came here hoping to find out if anyone has heard of Dr. whitcomb out in lake Tahoe. We have tons of new age Pa here in the Orlando area with high priced treatments and lousy bedside manners. Wading through the scam artist is depressing as hell because I don't understand the scammers mind set. What kind of low lives would scam people with this illness or condition knowing how destructive it is already. Anyway I'm 53 and not able to work or produce enough endorphins to get past the pain anymore. never get n more than 4 hour of real sleep a night. I have been taking Tramadol for years and sleep meds to sleep tram to get up and anti depressant to keep me from offing myself. I was eject from a moving car when I was 9 or 10 years of age this is why whitcombs material seemed so relevant. after getting rear end by a semi truck in Austin Tx everything went down hill from there. Now I've also gotten Rheumatoid arthritis too. I wake in the morning in pain and heat waves can't stay in bed because it hurts to much drag my butt out of bed and swallow two or three tramadols and about two hours later I can function. Can't take tramadol at night because it keep me from sleeping but gives me energy during the day. Well can anyone relate to this story? I sick and tired of this crap but I keep pushing ahead luckily I have a good wife who understands and doesn't hold it against me. I donlt like to whine but sometimes it's just happens just like Sh*t.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 From Orlando, and I go to Dr. B. Hudson 2071 Dundee Drive Winter Park, FL 32792 Tel: He is not a new age kind of guy but looks for the underlying cause of your pain ie. mycoplasmas and viruses. Though he uses conventional medications, he knows which medications help with which problems. He also knows about problems like candida caused from antibiotics. He is the most thorough doctor I have ever been to and takes the time to figure out what is happenning with you. When I first went to see Dr. Hudson, I could barely get out of bed and was in constant pain. After he treated me for bug called Chlamydia pneumoniae, my bodyaches disappeared and my fatigue got better. Right now, we are addressing Epstein Barr virus and HHV-6 found in my blood to help with chronic fatigue. If you want an excellent homeopathic physician, Mayfield, AC 5023 S US Highway 17/92 Casselberry, FL 32707 He is by far the best homeopath out there. Hopefully this helps. There are other doctors listed http://www.co-cure.org/USA_FL.htm but I have not gone to any of them. - In fibromyalgiacured , " nohype3 " wrote: > > Hey all > > I have had this crap since I was about 10.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 What's he using to treat your C. pneumoniae and Epstein Barr? I have both of those, too and Candida from antibiotics.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Dr Hudson is a conventional doctor so for C. pneumonia, He prescribed Avelox and Minocycline, which is known to work against the bug. While on the antibiotics, he gave me Nizoral to prohibit candida. For Epstein Barr, he is trying a medication which is meant to treat an different herpes virus. Here is link to article on medicine http://www.immunesupport.com/library/showarticle.cfm/ID/7152/ At this point, I am trying the medication, so I cannot attest to whether it will work. Also, you need to have blood monitored while on it as it can cause some problems. > > What's he using to treat your C. pneumoniae and Epstein Barr?
