Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Oops---sorry for the blank email. Got carried away and hit reply. LOL I saw my GP today. He sat with me for almost an hour, read over the stuff I printed out about FM and CFS. He made it clear that he does not know alot about either one but based on the research I brought in, he agreed it sounds like I have CFS! He told me he believed that I really am having all this happen and says it is NOT in my head. He went back through his notes and found in January 2000, I was complaining of brain fog and the inability to express myself. Finally!!! I felt such a weight lifted off my shoulders! I was almost in tears and thanked him for taking time to really listen to me. He increased my Advil and has me taking two Darvocet instead of one. Also recommended Omega-3 oil. As of right now, he is referring me to a CFS/FM specialist at either Cleveland Clinic ot University Hospitals---is also referring me to a chronic pain clinic. Despite the tremendous weight off my shoulders, I came home and proceeded to sleep three hours. Then, had to return a call to my employer who left a message on my machine saying if I did not take an assignment tonight and take one at least once a week, they'd have to " let me go " ---this is after I keep telling them to put me on inactive (heck, I am supposed to be inactive and they keep calling me!)! I called them back, told them I have a preliminary diagnosis of CFS and that they can do whatever they feel they need to do---my health comes first! Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know I finally found a doctor willing to listen. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
