This thread is really good...

How do you get a doctor to give you any pain relief? They... the physicans that I have seem... a family, an internist.. and a reumothologist - all agree on the diagnosis...

The reumothologist sent me back to my family MD.. and she told me to "tough" it out.. and nothing that can be done... except some physical therapy.. which I did.. didn't help.. racked up a big co-pay bill..

Internist tried Lycria - but with my psych. meds it really did not mix well... was well "wacky".. so...she had said.. do not come back for 3 months...even when I called and said it wasn't working...

I went in to see.. her a few months ago to get help.. got stung by a bee in her waiting room... swelled.. had a reaction..

she said... "it is best to not come back - except for regular physicals - because I was 'one of those people'" one with a mental illness - therefore.. perhaps more "prone" to feeling physical aliments - more aware of my pain than others... even though.. she does acknodlwedge the fibrom.. DX..

For that visit - she marked "migrane headache"... as DX.. and I do not have headaches..

I am allergic to all asprin products.. very severe...

My family MD did say to take tyleonal.... but... other than that be "tough"..

My Therapist... glosses over my pain... though it is hard to sometimes sit that long...in session...

so.. how go you guys get... any help??????

I live in a very conservative area...
