Well HazelPaddy..... I WOULD FOR SURE GET A NEW DOCTOR........... he is set in his/her ways and to be able to do his job properly is going to take his mind to open to new illnesses that come along. I pretty sure scurvy went out with the pirate boats so that is obsolete, a great doctor finds answers for their patience not make them feel worse. All doctors do seemed worried we are drug seekers and I am tried of feeling like one. I don't like meds, my doctor has never wrote me a script for a pain meds not that I care because everything I ever read says they don't work on this anyway. But it is the point that we feel bad enough, we lost enough and we are just out there trying to get back anything we used to have.........even if its just some pieces of our lives, at this point not expecting to gain all of my life back. End rant..........nothing makes me madder than doctor that makes us feel nutty.
As far as the oxygen treatment, I cant find anyone who has actually tried it so I am not counting it out. Good day to all us Fibroys! lol :)

You know, I was going to say find another dr, but I don't recall ever asking my dr if they believe fibro is an illness. I would freaking freak out! To be suffering this bad and my whole life f-ed up! (Sorry, lost it there for a minute. Lol)
Anyway, (lol) I have heard of the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I asked about it last time I went to the dr, was told it doesn't help. I would try anything too.
God Bless you.

I was going to have this but needed my doctor to sign it off as I was paying privately, but she wouldn't as she doesn't believe fibromyalgia is an illness.
