Thanks Everyone

June 22, 2002

Hello Everyone

I want to thank all of you for holding good thoughts for me. The people on

this list are the best. I am feeling some better today but I am still so

upset at the way that doc reacted to me. I have talked to some people and

read about the TrP injections and I guess I will try it. Not only do I have

FMS/CFS/MFS; I also have OA, PA, and diabetes. All of these things can be

very painful and for her to believe I just have general muscle pain is

ridiculous. I am scared to have this done but I just need some relief from

this pain. She wants to inject the steroid in my left shoulder and the left

side of my waist area. Did anyone have something to relax them when they had

this done?

Again I want to say how I appreciate all your suggestions and thoughts.

As for my SS disability, I will be calling a lawyer on Monday; I have been

trying to get SSD for eternity (it feels). This is the fourth time I was

refused. So I am not giving up. To make a long story short, I moved from Va.

to SC, which really messed things up good. I did go before a judge in Va.

and his conclusion was that my symptoms were " suggestive " and some of my

doctors took to long to reply to him, so their opinions did not count. I

have a dozen letters from different doctors explaining my health but yet I

still keep getting refused. I had a lawyer in Va. and after the judge denied

me, she called and said she did not want to handle my case any further. It

took 22 months to go before the judge, 4 months to get the refusal letter.

So everything has been so time consuming. I hope this lawyer I am going to

call is a good one.. cause I am gonna need one.

One more thing, I have written to one of the Senators in this state and

explained everything to him. I have not heard anything yet. I mailed it in

mid April so I am hoping that will help also. It was a 3 page typed letter.

I told him everything with dates and doctors names. I also sent him copies

of all those letters from the different doctors. I do have a PCP that really

cares and that helps. She is the way a doctor should be.

Gentle Hugs to All
