If you live any where near Atlanta, give Anesthesiologist James Fugedy, MD a try. He treats fibromyalgia using an electroceutical therapy device called the PRO GeneSys System Electroceutical Treatment. This device is used by some pain doctors to help relieve sore muscles, and is often used in Sports Injury treatment. Long wires lead from the device to suction-cup electrodes that are placed on various parts of the body. It doesn’t hurt, it feels a lot like a relaxing massage.

Dr. Fugedy, found that the use of this device gives patients long-lasting relief from the pain of fibromyalgia. Four out of five patients get a terrific response. The nice thing about the treatment is you know quickly whether it is working or not. After the first three or four treatments, Dr. Fugedy will tell you up front if he doesn't feel it will work for you. While the treatments did relax me, and they did get rid of the burning I experience in my skin, regrettably, I was the 1 in five and the treatments didn't get rid of all my pain. However, several of the women in my Fibro support group had great success. Also, I’ve met fellow fibromyalgia sufferers (some from neighboring states like Fla & Ala, but some from as far away as Ohio and Texas) while at his office on Roswell Road. These patients do nothing but sing his praises! After the course of treatments, they say they are pain free and only have to come in once a year or so for a 'tune up'.

Also, he is a great, kind and compassionate doctor who really knows about, and cares about, fibro and its victims. That alone is a rarity.
