Doctor appt... he says I can be cured? Please read

March 31, 2008

I saw my doctor today for my refills. He is a great doctor. Don't get me

wrong. The man is smart and has done ALOT of research on fibromyalgia. I have

several questions for you all.

#1- he said to cut out the wheat in my diet. I can do that. But please tell

me if anyone here has done this and seen some results.

#2- no sugar.

#3- nothing with yeast

#4- dont drink tap water... which I don't because it tastes like crap.

Alright. He wrote my scripts as usual. He said that I can cure myself if I

do what he says. But... he also said that he will still fill my meds for me if

I need them. So he was not being an a$$hole.

He also gave my Lyrica samples 75mg twice a day. (I am afraid to take it

because I have to work today and am afraid it will throw me for a loop at

first). But I will try it as soon as I can.

Also he said the ridges in my fingernails and the breakage of my teeth are a

metabolism problem. He says that fibromyalgia is caused by toxins that build up

and affect the central nervous system. (the brain and spinal chord).

One more question for you all. He looked at my fingers. My fingers curl

upward at the tips and have for years but it is worse now. He said it is an

" inflammatory " arthritis. But said not necessarily rheumatiod. So what kind of

arthritis could it be folks????? Osteoarthritis is NOT inflammatory and I

thought there was only two kinds of arthritis??????

Wants me to have 200 dollars worth of labs drawn. Which I will do though I

can't afford it very well. Will try to see if the lab will work with me a

little bit on payments. Wants a CBC, a BMP, a thyroid and tsh, estrogen and

progesterone levels.

Ok.... if you have any thoughts on the diet thing and when I should start

Lyrica let me know.

love and hugs,

Debra V.
