Re: Re: Fibro awareness diagnoisis

[Guest guest]

Just a thought, I went to both these Dr's with my symptoms, even had

respitory problems, and still have cycles, and saw Pulmonary Dr, but it only

took the 1 visit couple of tests right in the office look at my hands and was

told of FM which my primary had thought but this Dr. is qualified to do accurate

diagnois, which was my Rhuemotologist, I think that is where you should be, as

she also has found the right meds to help with symptoms. just a suggestion,as I

had been a frequent flyer at the MRI site, and with FM nothing will show. Good

Luck that you get the right help quickly

Last I saw posted..was the butterfly pins, instead of the purple

ribbons and wristbands. Let us all know please which.

I haven't been diagnosed with FM, however..my pain is worse some

days more than others. Mostly hip, leg..shoulders, and neck.

Recently had a MRI done, and my neurologist hasn't yet contacted me

about the results of it, I was told would be 7 to 10 days..

My regular physician has put me on Lyrica, and it seems to help,

unlike neurotin, that made me more tired and un-motivated than I was

before and sure didn't take away the pain.

Oh, about the FM suspiciions..both my regular doc, and my

neurologist have both said it probably is, but wanna make sure is

not something more.

God Bless and Be With all you Fibromites.and suspected ones too..

understand what you're saying, a national rally or something would

be great. But there is a National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, I

believe in April. I think the media will probably give it more

attention this year because of the Lyrica commercials. I want to

get/wear purple ribbons rather than the wrist bands.
