Guest guest Posted April 22, 2002 Report Share Posted April 22, 2002 Still in denial...because my fibro symptoms come and go. except for the insomnia and night pain (although it flucturates greatly). Haven't found anything to help without detrimental side effects. Just told the head of the sleep disorders clinic when she asked how my fibro was, I said I didn't think I had it. When I was diagnosed, I was on all kinds of meds and extremely sensitive. Anyway, reading the book , I am classic case although the doctor said I wasn't but he did turn my name in to someone doing a study on fibro patients. So, I just do what I can to survive. It would be nice to get more than an hour an a half sleep at one time. Star --- kithain kithain@...> wrote: > Hello to Jen, Konnie, Lynne, and Anne.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hello , I had the same problem with my insurance and went to a local surgeon here in Oregon. I was also diagnosed with MS 2 years ago because of the symptoms I was having, but tests for MS were showing up negative. I would find out how many patients these doctors have handled with Chiari. I was glad that a local surgeon had done many of these surgeries. Hope this helps. in Oregon 1.5 cm decompression C1 and C2 on Nov. 1, 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
