I saw my new PCP Monday. Well she though it was just fibro & anxiety. She's NOT ruling out that it's anything else yet and said she would like me to get a 2nd option from a neuro. She is doing some blood work to double check a few thing and checking my hormone levels. I got 4 RX's, Midrid for my headaches/migraines, Levsin for my IBS, Phenergan for the nausea & Buspar for the anxiety. All the info I read about Buspar said it's only to be taking 4 weeks at most so when I go back in 2 weeks I'll have to ask about that.

The way this Dr explained anxiety to DH and I made a lot of since, she said anxiety is a little like high cholesterol, you can treat it and it can get better but you always have it. You can treat the anxiety and it can get better but the person always has it. She said the big clue that she thinks I have anxiety is my memory loss. Not that I'm having all the crazy symptoms but the fact I don't have much of a childhood memory and that I have blokes of time when things looked good that I can't remember. Like the 1st 3 years of my DD's life, I finally had a girl and I was happy and life was good with me and DH and there was no "term oil" going on, no reason for me to block out those memories. It's not unheard of for the physical symptoms to get worst if your feeling good. She did say that she though most of my symptoms were just the fibro tho.

I really liked this Dr, she really listened and toke her time, I'll bet she was in the room with us for 1/2 hour. I go back in 2 weeks to tell her how the Buspar is going and talk about pain meds at that point if I still need them.
