Today Scott took me to John Hopkins. It was a scheduled visit. My neurologist has been trying to get me in there for almost a year. The purpose of my visit was a second opinion for my migraines. It turned out to be a visit about fibromyalgia. The neurologist does not feel the migraines are separate from everything else going on. He felt they were part of the Fibro. He discussed the CNS and how he felt I had gotton on this pain cycle and couldn't get off. He told me he felt bad for me and wished he could help me, but there was really nothing he could do. I was on the right meds and getting the right help with my local doctors. I did ask him if I was hypersensitised to pain how did I walk on a broken ankle for four months and not really no it and he did not have any answer for this. So, I asked him point blank--Do you believe in Fibro? And he said he used to not, but now he did. The problem is there is no real test and that makes people and physicians leary. I told him I would let any physician that thought I was faking trade places for me for 24 hours anytime he wanted. Unfortunately, he told me that exercise was my best option, if I could try to work though the pain of getting started. I told him about the SSD judge yelling at me about not having any surgeries and he agreed with me that there weren't any. My SSD hearing was 10 weeks ago tomorrow. The stress is almost too much to take. I am praying for a miricle for all of us.

I can certainly understand your stress. Just when you think you
are going to get the help you deserve, it is a slap in the face.
I took my Mother to Doctors Urgent Care on Monday. When we were
there I asked to see a Doctor. Low and behold I was started on
Lexapro. I have only been taking it several days so nothing has
changed. At least someone is trying something for me. Of course
since it is an antidepressant I have read a lot of bad posts about it, but at this point I am willing to try anything. I am
also praying for a miracle. Went back to Chiro today, and had
a little relief but not for long. I will be praying for you
Take care, Belva
