Diagnosing Fibro

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.
