If you suspect that you're suffering with Fibromyalgia or a health expert has diagnosed you with this problem, don't despair. Yes, it's tough, but it's not impossible to live a good life.
Now, people who are in severe pain this minute may have just felt the hair rise up on the back of their neck, but consider these points for a moment:
- Fibromyalgia is often different for everyone. No two people usually exhibit the same symptoms.
- Even without help or medicines, the symptoms of Fibromyalgia tends to rise and fall over a period of time.
- It is possible to look for recovery tools that help you reduce your symptom load and feel better. Some people can heal completely. Others will enjoy relief from constant pain and muscle aches.
Whatever you do, do not think that your situation is hopeless. The key is to be positive and always look for answers that may help you.

A red flag has gone up when I mention to my formal Dr. That I was in pain.
He refuse to talk to me. He wrote me that he did not treat Fibromyalgia. He was going to send me to a pain Dr.
I wrote to him how I felt in the way he was treating me. I just had a blood clot. I have not felt comfortable with him when I got him as my Dr.
With the Blood Clot, I have developed more problems. I cannot find a Dr. who will treat me. I do not have insurance. My husband insurance was nothing. I cannot afford to go to a fibromylaia and CFS.
The only treatment I recieve is Neurotion.
Maybe someone knows where I can get help. I have been searching everywhere I can.
I am in the Atlanta Area.
Thanks so much who ever read this story.
I am in so much pain now so I got to go back to bed.
Thanks

Dear Linda,
Many docs don't like to treat pain symptoms... at all. They routinely refer to specialist pain doctors. If that's the case and you get referred to one who will help you, you might end up better off.
As far as this doctor's other care of you with the blood clot, you need to keep him advised of your progress until you can find a more suitable doctor. Blood clots can be dangerous.
Recommending a doctor in the Atlanta area is not something I could do right off hand. If a name pops up because of this post, I'll see that it gets listed. I work with people long distance as an ELT Practitioner and help people with FMS. Plus, you don't have to have any insurance. Check out the page on ELT.
Thanks, Linda, for your comment. I hope you feel better soon.
