I've seen 27 dr's from every field since i was diagnosed in 1/2006 and i've ended up back where i started from. my family dr was not familar with fibro and didn't want to diagnose it himself so he sent me to a reumy to have it confirmed. after that i wanted to find the best dr around to help me with this disease. i went to the cleveland clinic and spent a week with various dr's and have every test they could think of performed. they to ended up agreeing with dr's i had already seen and stated that there wasn't much they could do about it. i've seen every kind of dr trying to get someone to say that they could help me, none could. so i ended up back where i started from with my family md. he needed to be educated about fibro and i realized that i was the one that was going to have to do it. so i read everything i could read to educate myself so that i could educate him. after about 6 months he started to listen to what i had to say, after i pitched a fit, and we started trying different kinds of meds to see if we could find the perfect cocktail of meds. as of now, we have realized that i am not very tolerent of many but the ones i can take he gives to me without any problems. so what i'm trying to say is that everyone is different and every dr is different and both need to be educated about this illness. work with your dr and see if you can come up with a cocktail that will aleast make it tolerable until we can find out away to treat it effectively.
