Actually it's 11 out of the 18 trigger points. I am also waiting to hear back about my blood tests. My doctor said he is testing for arthritis and a metabolic disorder. He only took 2 tubes, but I saw him check 3 places on the sheet. I wasn't close enough to see exactly what he checked on the lab sheet. As it turns out, we will be getting new insurance and I am unsure if this sort of thing is even covered under the Blue Cross/Blue Shield " medically necessary " treatment. I have a feeling they will deny any claims that they can. I really hate them. I might not even go back to this doctor. I might just assume I have Fibro considering everything I read about it sounds just like what I have been going through for 10+ years, and then look for my own natural ways of healing. I figure that if I can work on my attitude, relationship with the Lord, take large doses of antioxidants, experiment with over the counter pain killers and or sleep aides, and experiment with some herbal formulas for stress and sleep, then I just might find the right life balance. I can look back over a lot of years of over doing it, putting up with too much crap from other people, feeling sorry for myself, eating wrong, not exercising enough, and I can see how I have let this poor old abused body fall apart. It's time that I take the bull by the horns and control my circumstances and stop letting my circumstances control me. ttyl Suzi >> Your probably right...BC/BS is the WORST insurance that I have found...they put me in DEBT because they decided they didn't want to pay my bills. I have no cue why people still pay for this insurance. I now have my husbands which is BeechStreet...the best by far insurance That I EVER had. No questions they just pay.They pay all my probs altho I was just DX with Fibro last week. I also have tendonitis which is where this all started, Plus hypothyroidism.The only thing I had t pay out of pocket was something called Surgeons charge which was Trigger shots. Good luck tho Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
