Hello all,
I have just found this informative web central info area. I would like to take the time to say hi.
i have a few question but i thought i would try and take the time to put them in the correct places but after a few hours i am not able to find what i am looking for so i am going to place them here
I have a few mental health issues.
i also have hypoglicemia as my dr said however my health insurance messed up and call and told me i was diabetic and said it was maditory for me to sign up for a few classes on how to take care of my self so i am not sure what is going on there.
i can not get into my psych dr until first part of sept. not that the clinic listens to anyone any how i am working on changeing drs. but i don't want to be taking any medications that will mess with my blood sugar, weight or anything else that will cuase this to hurt me.. i am trying really hard to lose weight to control and possabley reverse this conditon.
i also have fibormyalgia and the psych dr says that it is not real my pain is all in my head alon with my anxity problems.. she refues to treat anything but my bipolar depression which i don't have i am bipolar manic. go figure. hencie why i am changing. i am just unsure what to do in the mean time. i have 3 kids with mental illness and we are all butting head now. so any advice would be appreicative. i am not sure what info you need to help.. not to mention i am not big about giving out info online. so let me know.. thank you

If your psychiatrist tells you that your already-diagnosed fibromyalgia isn't real, and that anxiety isn't real also, and that they're just products of your manically-depressed brain, then leave him and change doctors. He has shown you what a worthless degree he has earned... The things he's said to you are his OPINIONS, not the FACTS.

I have a very close friend who suffers from panic attacks, depression, and fibromyalgia. She says that even while brushing against the wall triggers the pain (on her left side, which is where her fibromyalgia is concentrated), and that when she's too cold or too hot her pain gets severe when anything touches her left side. To educate myself and prevent any unwanted accidents, I read a few articles on fibromyalgia, and from what I've learned, the brain is mixing the normal "sensation" signals with "pain", and I don't think that that's in your mind: it's a problem with your brain cells.

If your psychiatrist can't see that, change. Don't deal with extra suffering because of malpractice...

Wishing you luck!
