    Hello cherl450, Ive had Rhumatoid arthritis for 36years aprox plus other problems, I've had 5 plus partial knee replacement, wrist, knuckles, ankle replaced, heart problems which I just got on with them But when I was diagnosed with Fibromayalga things fell into place as for a few years I couldn't cope with my pain, my consultant I was stoic! My body went down hill with so many changes. I read about a "machine" called alpha stim, it was recommended by Dr Steel off TV. It's very expensive, my son bought a second hand one for £400. I've been useing it for 6 weeks & up to now I sleep well, more energy plus eases the differant aches &  pains. Hope I'm not  in remission & hope this machine is doing for me. I will let you know.

    I think doctors need to be more knowledgeable re: Fibro,...most people have other conditions as well which really makes the Fibro soooo flared up..a little empathy would certainly go a long way with that locum it's awful when you see a new doctor and you start to explain what's up...I'm sure they think your a bit of a hypochondriac..but you know what..I just don't care anymore..I realized years ago..I have to take my health issues into my own hands and make sure everything I take or the doc says if wants me to do, is totally explained..especially any side effects to expect..I recon depression would be certainly an issue with all what's wrong with you..and fir a doc to say to you what he did, needs reporting..stay strong also be totally knowledgeable in all things...after all, you are paying them to help you...one way or another the docs get their pay..if it's not from your purse right now it was once through taxes..

      O' precious Jackie, feel fir you right now..I'm in Oz....hope your feeling better really soon, hot water bottles or heat packs may help, such a long wait till the 22nd, hope you get the right meds to help, even if it's just something to relax a little until the Fibro meds kick in..stay strong, try and keep positive, I know when I have really bad times I try to think of people worse off than me. Like in a cancer ward or 3rd world countries...I know it's very hard to do whilst in pain ect, but it does help...feeling for you..:-) xx
