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.
