Re: Re: Doctor appt... he says I can be cured? To Marg

[Guest guest]

Yep I must agree with you. I guess if I did not know him so well and if he had

not have done so much for me, I would have wanted to hit him on the head with a

frying pan.

Who knows how doctors think? But it is ok. At least he will treat my

symptoms and does not accuse me of being a liar.

Thanks for the input sweetie.

i don't think fibro can ever be 100% cured.

the dietary changes are to eliminate food allergens. i have tried and

reduced alot, but i refuse to eliminate 100%. you can try eliminating

wheat, sugar and yeast for a couple weeks, see if any of your

symptoms improve. if not, then the fibro is not being caused by food

allergies. i have a food allergy to yeast, yeast is in tons of food,

so i take diflucan to kill the fungal overgrowth in my intestinal

tract caused by the yeast. my perspective is, to cut out too many

foods out of the diet is not healthy, either.

food allergies did not start our fibro, food allergies may contribute

or worsen some symptoms, but eliminating food allergies won't cure

our fibro. so for your doc to tell you that you can cure your fibro,

i think a doc even telling that to a patient takes alot of nerve!

toxins in the nervous system... i think we all know better, we know,

from experts, that we basically have too much chemical p in the

cerebral/spinal fluid, not toxins. ask your doc how exactly toxins

get into the fluid? i would like to know.

there are only 2 kinds of arthritis, rheumatoid (inflammatory) and

osteo/spondylosis (bone spur) arthritis.

cbc = complete blood count, checks for anemia,infection,etc.

thyroid and tsh(thyroid stimulating hormone) = checks thyroid function

estrogen,progesterone = checking female hormone levels probably for

perimenopause

not sure what bmp is for.

you might try cutting the lyrica tablets in half to start. i couldn't

walk due to dizzieness on half the starting dose.

let us know how eliminating the foods and your bloodwork comes out,

when you have it done.

i really don't agree that a doctor should even beging to think that

we can cure ourselves of anything with just dietary changes...much

less tell us that. that is tacky, in my opinion.

take care,

marg

get me wrong. The man is smart and has done ALOT of research on

fibromyalgia. I have several questions for you all.
