Thanks for the information!
I was really upset b/c the dr. that told me I had phantom pain managed to break another one of my vertebrae during the exam - brittle bone disease caused by Cushings......
Also, said dr. told me to "give up" - b/c I "had the worst case of MG he'd evr come across" - told him "unacceptable" and left - needless to say - he WAS NOT the dr. for me! LOL!
I think
most people have problems being dx'ed with MG, and it really upsets me........
Anyway, hope you are feeling GREAT today and thank you for your response!
Big hugs!
Erin

There is an interesting article on pain that explains such mechanisms and you might want to print it and take on your next visit: I hope they will let me leave this link, but just incase, I will type out what comes after Doctordeluca.com/Library/Pain/CP1newDisease2K.htm.
