im in canada, so thankfully insurance isn't an issue for treatment or doctors and i have drug insurance. i have seven specialists at this point. All that has done is mean there are more of them to share me around to without anyone making anything any better. i don't think we can get case managers here, that's sort of what the GP ends up doing.

fibro fog? i hadn't known that before... i will research it. thank you.

you're right.. i need to tune out the bad docs. i just want some answers now. The main stuff is bad enough, but the mood stuff is driving me to despair. It's hormonal, no doubt about that.. you can time my moods like clockwork. But nobody will DO anything or tell me what is happening. It seems i react to progesterone. The best i can find online is PMDD and all they suggest is an SSRI AD. Those thingsdon't work for me. Does this mean i get to spend more than half of the next 10yrs upset, crying, irritable, etc?i can't bear the thoughts of that...

isn't the slow degeneration of my joints and spine enough?

this is a big whine.. i normally just take the pain and do what i have to in life. i never say why me... it doesn't help any. i'm just tired. i cannot go through years of this, being myself for two weeks and crazy for the other two.

thanks for being so supportive
