Hi everyone let me tell you it has been a long 2 weeks. Got a new doctor and all he is concerned with is my high blood pressure. No new meds for my Fibro and that really sucks. My pain for the last week has been a good hard 8. Last night I thought I was loosing my mind (at least what’s left of it). I feel like spaghetti noodles. I ended up taking 6 mg of Ativan to get out of my funk last night. But Ativan and I have a very bad relationship lol. I meditated tried light stretches dark quiet room nothing helped. And when I got up this morning it started right over again… Well thank you for letting me vent ill get the hang of this one day. Soft huggs
that sounds awful, I'm 1 year into my diagnosis of fibromyalgia and rhumatoid arthritis. All I can say is take each day as it is, enjoy the good ones and just try to survive the hard ones. Each day you wake up is a good onej

Crystal, some days (or strings of days) can be hellish. Everyone here can relate. I guess the best thing I get from your post is that you got up this morning--meaning you slept???? I sure hope you feel better soon. I've learned to treasure the good days and just lay low and try not to stress during the bad ones. Vent any time.
Hi Crystal
I’m so sorry to hear that your doctor does not seem to be listening to you and did not address your fibro, leaving you to suffer in pain. I know how frustrating that can be. I hope you get some relief soon and that tomorrow is a better day for you.
Sending positive thoughts your way,
Linus
Get another new doctor!! God they’re so annoying those ones!! Grrrrrrr you hit a nerve haha!!
Can I ask what medication you are on? Sorry to be nosey but you should have three at least for fibro in my personal opinion. One antidepressant that also helps with pain/sleep a painkiller that works on the nerves and a half decent opiate or antiinflammatory. The bare minimum I can cope with is amitrypitiline and a moderate level painkiller.
If your doctors are not helping this much at least they are a waste of time and need employing in a brain dead job.
I’m sorry you are struggling to get adequate medical help at the mo. This is way too “normal” for us on here. I have had so much hassle with doctors like you too I have gotten very stroppy with them too many times. They should do their jobs properly if they don’t want a face full of me lol. You will get there eventually. Just keep persisting and find the right doctor for you. The others can just carry on writing out prescriptions for antibiotics 24/7.
I couldn't have said it better Michelle!
Maybe this Doctor feels he has to get your BP in check before adding meds, that may cause further problems, I cannot say for sure, as I don't have all of his education. But it is one possibility. When do you see him again?
