Thanks Bob and you are right about him. He is always right. He is an optometrist though and doesn't diagnose usually. I am not sure how he feels about Fibromyalgia, I do however know how he feels about celiac disease and he has a pretty low opinion of it. He has diagnosed me with dry eye, yet refuses to believe the cause is my autoimmune disease (that being celiac because he isn't sure I am celiac), he feels it is either allergy related or hormonal, but certainly not autoimmune. I am guessing he probably doesn't believe I have neuropathy either, of course, the neuropathy is probably a result of my celiac disease too and as I have stated, he isn't sure I am celiac! As for B12, he feels everyone can get all the vitamins they need from a balanced diet! I never ask him any questions anymore--I have finally come to the conclusion that I know more about vitamins than he does, definitely more about neuropathy, and will always know more about celiac disease.

I also realize I will have to start leaving work the minute I realize he has used the offensive chemicals again. Once he has to pay me for staying home repeatedly, maybe he will start listening to me.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
