"I have an STD" (pooder)

MDJunction to me

peasha"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)

Hello and welcome to the family! I'm in west Texas, nearly as far away from RI as I can be and still be in the same country LOL! So I can't help you there. But, have you checked out pain management doctors? I have one who manages my fibro, and a nurse practitioner for everything else. Hopefully someone else will come along who is closer to you! Meanwhile, feel free to browse around!
Love,

Thanks ladies!! I havent been on in some time because to sit at the comp. really bothers my back and neck. Right now as I type this I am sitting with my heating pad which sometimes gives a little relief! I have found a very nice new PCP. She has referred me to a place here in RI called NeuroHealth. They specialize in just about anything neuro. based, I also have epilepsy so that is great. I have checked there website and it seems like a great place, that is realistic with treatment and such. My pcp talks very highly of this place. I have an appt on Monday the 7th so I am really looking forward to it! If you would like to check it out here is the site

www.neurohealth.info

Thanks again for the words of encouragement!!
