Well lets c Ive been struggling for three months now.. The doctors are giving me the run around and Im not quite sure what is wrong with me. I did have a positive lyme test but never been in the woods or anything and the doctor is telling me I would have been bitten within the last 6 weeks because of the test result but it doesnt make any sence with my symptoms because they are so severe and you would have to have lyme for a long time to have such problems. They think it is a false positive and are doing more testing. He seems to think I have ms but it doesnt fit. I tried to tell him I thought it was fibro because all my symtoms go rigght along with it. He blew that idea right out the door. I have muscle pain and swelling, stiffness, nerve pains, weakness in feet and hands, headaches, constant panic attacks,ect. I need a doctor that knows about fibro and believes in it. What the hells a girl to do?

My goodness Jill, it certainly sounds like you are on the merry go round!

Don't give up, keep looking for a Dr. who understands that he/she is working FOR YOU! Make them listen to your thoughts about possibly having Fibro and test you for it. If not, then move on to another dr.

Hang in there! (((((HUGS))))
