You need to see a pain management doctor. I saw other doctors and was

told the same thing. You must find a pain management doctor who list

FM as one of their fields on medicine or you will get a run around

about this from some of them also.

I wish I could refer you but I am in Michigan.

Thanks everyone,

I know they are all idiots and they all cost money.

I keep getting told to exercise. So I push myself to walk 1/2 mile up hill in

February on

sheer ice with cleats strapped to my boots, wich takes me about 45 min. Then

they want

me in the pool. So I go to the pool.It is supposed to be therapeutic at 87

degrees but feels

cold to me. and the chlorine gives mean asthma attack and i get a bad hair day.

But I went.

The actual individal theraputic pool coaching is $30 an hour. The yoga class

fee is

included in the cost of the Y membership BUT it is something called " Fitness

yoga " .I have

not gone yet but did study yoga for many years and know that even the gentlest

yoga

class would be too much for me now. I tend to avoid things with the words

'fitness' or

'endurance' in them.

I will continue to look for a fibro Dr.

Meanwhile I have to keep the primary care because they are in the same practice

as my

shrink (who is a gem) and if I ditch the primary care or if they ditch me, then

i loose the

shrink. so what now. I am going to LIE to the primary care and tell them

uh-huh yep i'm

doingit, even if they want me to go whitewater rafting or something ridiculous.

I am going to maybe try accupuncture for the pain. Although narcotics would be

cheaper.

PEACE
