First, Its sure a long story.
Second, it definately sounds like fibro.
Third I'm so glad he didn't do anymore test. There isn't a test for fibro,
per say. There is a chart some doctors' use sometimes. But its just
a tigger points chart of the body. And I really can't give you the parts
of the body you have to hit on to have to have fibro.
But I'm pretty sure you have hit the marks.
So I do believe he hit the mark this time. And honestly of the difference
between the two. I'm glad he could say its fibro.
But that doesn't mean it will be easy. Its not always easy to find meds
that work.
Now about the symtoms.
!. The foot pains. I would go see a foot doctor. I know that sounds
weird. But he can help with that.
It was one of the best things I did. I have planters Fastacis. And it was
that I needed to wear specific kinds of shoes. And I needed to have
him make me ( ) for my shoes. Sorry I can't remember their names.
But they were a godsend.
2. One of the best things I've done is find a good massage Therapist, I
used to go to her 2 times a week. But its costly, so I try to go at least
weekly.
So I would suggest, seeing if you can find a good one.
I also have other issues. That would cause me to end up in physical therapy.
If I didn't go to the massage therapist. So its been a savings for more than
one way for me.
But please keep asking question.
Now the reumy, might be good help. Or not, I don't know. I use a pain management doctor. But it sounds like your internalist is good.
