HI.... I guess I have a real problem, saying this is Male Dortors Vs Female doctors... If you could come down to Fl and see the Dr I see... You would find it is not a male, female thing....it is just a dr to dr. thing.....Dr Courtney is a wonderful doctor who treats his patients from his heart....... I have seen him take money out of his own pocket to help a patient.... I treats from HIS heart with all that he has... And as I see it most doctors before they say you have fibro have to rule out everyhing else that might be causing your pain... Dr. want something concrete to treat...symptoms they understand and treatments they can make money on....Also because it use to be said that fibro was the wastebasket disease... because it was the place where all the people that they could not find a reason for there pain in.... were PUT...Had to do something with you..... (meaning anyone with fibro).... I guess if it was me and I was not happy with this treatment, go to the person who is in charge of the office..... and talk to him or her and tell that person what the problem is, and maybe they can interveen for you and get you where you want to be..... Or you can always go to another Dr..... but there is no telling if it will be an better...... I have been to both male and female Doctors.... MY family Dr is a Female..... and to me she is the next thing to an angel... Her name is Dr. Karen Wunderlich.... She is awesome....... I hope you the best ...and my prayers are with you....

O.K. went to the Pain clinic today and had a major melt down right there in the exam room, really not sure why but I think it has something to do with the new dr. See I started going to see a pain specialist about 8 months ago and I loved the dr. there she was a female and was very sympathetic to my pain and fibro. she ran several test and found the problems with my neck and back and my sleep disorder she didn't just tag everything as fibro. like many others had in the past I was hoping she would eventually tell me that I didn't have fibro that it was something else that she would be able to fix but no such luck after all was said and done she told me that she wished she could tell me what I wanted to hear but that she was still convinced it was fibro. So I accepted it after 6 years, unfortunately she changed to a family practice in another county and a new dr has taken her place this was the second time seeing him and he tells me he isn't convinced that it IS fibro because fibro should ONLY be dx'ed if there is NO other reason for you to be in pain and since I have ddd and ruptured disc that I have reason to be in pain. Now don't get me wrong I would LOVE for a dr to tell me for 100% sure I DON'T have fibro. cause then there would be real hope but this doc was wanting to send me to a neuro surg. for a consult about surgery for my neck pain, I had to remind him I had had surgery in dec. for my neck duh and when I started crying for no apparent reason he ignored me and said I seemed anxious and wanted to know why. I was in so much pain in his office is why!! I seem to talk out of my head and ramble when I am in extream pain (can you tell lol SORRY). So he gave me injections and uped my pain meds and sent me out the door crying uncontrolably I felt like shit for breaking down in front of a man no less and just felt like he didn't get me at all so I was just wondering if anyone else experiences this with men dr's and if anyone has melt downs for no apparent reason at the absolute worst times?
