Well from personal experience I know that I had all of these symptoms before telling my doctor of each one, but when she gave it a name and I knew she wasn't going to look at me like I was crazy then I felt I could let the cat out of the bag and tell her more.

I still have trouble getting myself to tell my doctor everything, but this is coming to a stop because tomarrow at my appointment I'm going to lay it on her. I'm tired of worrying that she wont help me if I seem to be t much of a burden.I don't care anymore because I'm desperate.When I first went to her I just thought I had allot of medical problems and she told me lets just deal with one thing at a time, so I started with the ones that worried me the most. Finally she tells me after a year of treating me that I have fibro and I set me up an appointment with the Rhumatologist for the official diagnosis.I'm still waiting to see him.

Don't you all agree that these doctors truelly don't get it. When people with fibro finally get a name for it instead of hypochondriac abd they realise all these symptoms are related to one problem, they feel releived and feel like they can finally let it all out.

Whats wrong with these doctors?

I told her about my headaches and trip to the hospital and how the doctor at the hospital told me my headaches were being causedby my muscles in my neck and back not relaxing. I then broke down once again crying as I told my doctor that I havn't had much sleep this week due to the pain.

When I was trying to tell her about my pain in my muscles she said lets get back to the headaches thats what your here for today right. I said yes but the muscles might be a cause. She didn't want to listen to me. My mom said that this doctor is more about telling you how you feel, rather than the patient telling her how they feel.

My mom started to tell this lady once again how I'm not the same and the doctor said very rudely, yes we talked about this the last time you were here remember and kept her back to my mom and had a very sarcastic expression on her face like she didn't want to talk to my mom.

Well my mom said you know that in June there will be no more medicaid right. The doctor said no I wasnt aware of this. Then she turned around, but continued to be rude to my mom, so I said yeah and when I no longer have medicaid my mom is taking over the medical payments. After saying this the doctor slide her chair over to my mom and then was very interested in what my mom had to say. What does this tell you.

I also had her put me on zoloft because it seems to be the only antidepressant I have no bad side effects with.

I wanted to talk to her about how the ortho doctor wanted me to see the sergion in my states capital, but never got the chance. I think she likes to have me come in time and time again for the money.

My mom told her I was about to loose my mind with this pain.

This doctor had no sympathy for me when I told her of my headaches and pain. She should have prescribed me something for the head aches and pain to get me through until my pain clinic appointment.

Loosing my medicaid will be a mixed blessing.

I sure is funny how the word money gets some peoples attention.

I hope that you get some much needed and deserved help soon! Your friend, Chris
