To Kris in TN

[Guest guest]

Hi Kris,

So sorry to hear you have the same problems I do. It took nearly as

long for you to find out what was going on too.

I wanted to let you know that I am in Tennessee as well.......hmmmm

maybe we need to recruit some real doctors here!! As I said in my

earlier post, I had to go to the Mayo Clinic in ville to

finally get answers. I am not on any pain meds at this time

although after a really bad attack this morning, I wish I had a pain

pill. Anyway this attack has left me at home today, calling in to

work sick again. I don't even bother with going to the ER anymore.

I just wait it out.

Anyway, to my question for you. Who do you see now for management

of CP and SOD?? I am more than willing to travel for a competent

(and compassionate) physician. I have had too many bad experiences

with physicians here........I think I saw 5 doctors in Memphis. One

of the gastro's told me my pain was probably fibromyalgia and dumped

me on a rheumatologist. Another told had me take a psychological

test and gave me antidepressants!! I had begun to think it may be

in my all in my head too after all those bad experiences! Now that

I have a real diagnosis of SOD and CP, I am ready to fight the

battle. I just don't know what physician will fight the battle with

me. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Zoie
