Hi Irene and All,

I agree, it does take the cake, but this isn't the first time I heard it. My

Primary Care Doctor, Neurologist, Psychologist, Psychiatrist and Rheumatologist

all tell me the same thing. Their exact words " Treat the Depression and the

Fibromyalgia will go away " . Well, I've been treated for Depression for over a

year now and my pain, stiffness and fatigue have only gotten worse. So somebody

is crazy here and it's not us.

I can't say I have heard that depression causes Fibro, but I have heard that

Fibro cause depression. My doctor treats me with anti-depressants not for

the depression as for the sleep quality. Anti-depressants are suppose to

help you sleep. From everything I have heard, sleep or I should say lack of

deep sleep is the main cause of Fibro. I really think I would feel over 50%

better if I would get level 4 sleep. Your body heals itself at this level

and if you never get there, your body never heals. It is like re-injuring

the same thing everyday. If they could only figure out how to get all of us

to sleep better, I think that would makes us all much better.

My nerurologist told me that Fibro is primaly a sleep disorder like

you said. I had a sleep study done and it said I only get 3% of the

stage 3 and 4 sleep I need. The nerurologist said that all my

problems (memory problems, lack of concentration, clumsiness,

fatigue, muscle pains) all stem from accumleted sleep debt. He says

a cpap machine should correct his. The pulmonologist that ordered

the sleep study told he did not think my insurance would pay for a

cpap because my sleep apnea was not " bad " enough. My o2 sats fall to

88% which he said wasn't that bad. My pcp and nerulogoist both say

that is still very low. A nurse friends of mine said it should be at

95% or higher. Anyway thank God Cigna auth'd the cpap so now it's

just a matter of waiting to get the 2nd sleep study with the cpap and

getting the machine. I have high hopes for it. The neruologist said

that if the cpap doesn't help me then he will put me on provigil.

which is funny since I was going to ask him about provigil because I

had heard about it on here but he brought it up first. I LOVE my

neruologist.
