I hope I get to see a rheumy too, my doctor though told me that he can treat me and I do not need to see one. I looked at the form they give me to give the receptionist, and I looked at the diagnosis's and it was for the day, depression, anxiety, and swelling. There was never any mention about fibro, and the reason I had the swelling was from lyrica which was for fibro. Today, and over the last couple of days I have felt myself going downhill, it was like I read the depression diagnonsis, which I did not feel I was untill the last couple of days, and now I am. I had to push for the diagnosis of fibro, we had talked about it for months. At one point he felt my extreme stress and anxiety was causing too much cortisol to be released and causing my body pain. He did not take my body pain seriously until it went well ahead of my tmj/face pain. My body pain came on only a month after the tmj flare up. My body has been under attack since September, and I am so depressed about the weight I have gained.

Yesterday, I had the same horrible pain, but it was my sciatic nerve. I could not get it to calm down until I took more ibuprofen, and flexeril. I took 4, and then 2 hours later I took another 2. I layed on the floor and tried stretching the muscles.

Who would have thought that pain comes in so many ways and levels with this damn fibromyalgia. I am 100% convinced that my mother had fibro. We are built the same way, migraines, pms, body type, and before she died she complained a lot about body pain, and said she just did not feel right. I miss her so much, and I wish she were here so I could ask her so many questions. I would not have the problems of having someone watch the boys if she was here. She would be with them all the time, and if I had an appt., she would be with me, and help me with the boys.

I am going to try and push harder for seeing a rhuematologist.
