Julie - Congratulations! I am happy for you that it is not MS.

I agree with the others about getting a 2nd opinion. One of my sisters had it and she checked out different options for treatment. While she did go to a chiro he also does preventative and sports medicine. Her treatment was a combination of things including PT to retrain the muscles. It took a few years but she is doing so much better now. She even grew an inch. LOL.

As with all things, different therapies work differently for each person. Do your homework on different doctors and on treatment options. Even if you have to go to 10 different places/doctors to get an opinion. Keep in mind that you do have fibro and look for someone who is knowledgeable about that as well. They can incorporate that in to your therapy. For me, a more holistic doctor/facility is important as they treat the whole person not just the symptom.

Keep us posted on how you are doing.
