I would like to join y'all in the Fibro section... I have had Fibro since I was very young, but didn't get it diagnosed until last year. My doctor had no idea what it was and thought I was a drug seeking. I was like seriously? I already can't take any of the crap "drug seekers" would want anyway. He was really expensive and didn't do much of anything. After I lost my job, a blessing in disguise happened, my psychiatrist was moving to a smaller facility, so he would have less responsibilities, so he could focus more on helping the patients he has on a daily basis instead of handling ever crisis. I was upset because I had been seeing him for months and I had just finally gotten comfortable enough with him that I could talk to him about anything I needed to. So, although I didn't have 100 dollars a month to see him I made it work. Now back to the other bit, now that you know how I ended up there, I didn't know that it was not just a mental health facility, one side was also a private practice doctors office. Instead of costing me over 100 for my old doctor to jerk me around and beat around the bush, I spent 25 per office visit and my doctor went out of his way to make sure I got what needed and quite a bit more. He preformed a lot of the testing himself. Which from my experience is kind of rare because they print out the order and tell you to go somewhere else. It also doesn't help that he looks just like Matthew Broderick. (like inspector gadget and Ferris Buelar's day off. God every time this guy smiles I feel either microscopic, or I want to melt into a puddle in my shoes. Embarrassing! He is the one that diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and chronic Migraines. I am sure there would be more diagnosise, but I had to stop testing because it got to expensive. The next test he wanted to run is a blood test to see if I have a thyroid condition, or diabetes. But more than that to properly diagnose my knees, my neck, my back, and my left wrist I need MRIs. I ran the numbers, I was looking at more than 9,000 dollars not covered by insurance because I don't have any (under federal law I have exempt status). But the best news was that I knew what was causing my pain and have a new medication to help with the pain. (Cymbalta) which paired with my EffexorXR works pretty well, until the weather changes, or I get a stiff spell, or it wears off early. Other than that significant reduction in pain. I do have to be careful though because it does interact with some of the other things I take. Mostly it just makes me sleep more during the day and dizzier than I was before. Some shaking and tremors have happened, but it is worth it.
