I went to a neurologiist and had tests and by elimination was diagnoised with fm, After research I asked to be put on Cymbalta which was a mistake. Unbeknownst to me this keep me awake and did nothing . I had to wean myself off of it and then went to my gp and she gave me gabapentin which helped along with these high potency vitamins called isotonix . Im feeling a lot better. Along with aquatic physical therapy , massage and a pill I take at nite called htp and spray of magnesium at nite. Like was said previously do your own research and be your best advocate. There is so much out there for this but I really recommend these isotonix vitamins. If you need my contact let me know.

Tell him EVERYTHING !!! If he looks at you like your nuts, ask for another Dr. Hopefully they have a few in the office. Don't be shy or afraid. You have to be your own advocate. No one knows better than you what your going through. Be strong !

HisKitten,
I agree with Grammyok. You maybe anxious and so hopeful that you forget to ask important questions. Take some time today to write them down. I will pray that he/she is a good rheumatologist with a compassionate heart and Fibro wisdom!

I went to a nuerologist and did a bunch of tests, I asked to be put on Cymbalta after researching it. Unbeknownst to me this medicine kept me up at nite for months. Stay off that med. I am now on gabapentin and doing great . That and a combination of high potency vitamins called isotonix has helped me greatly. If you need more info let me know. I have a contact . Nan

I can't think of any questions to ask.
