Well .... it has not been a happy time, but I get through the days and sleep at night and get up every day so I guess all in all it is going <<<<<<<.
Still battling the Medical Professionals and "symptoms" and "signs" but the only good thing about the entire process I can say is that I am now absolutely sure I will go onto to get my degree in Nutrition and try to get into Nursing school so that I am in a position to make sure no one else has to go through this mess like I have had to go 20 years with misdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, under cared for and denied alternatives "because it would talk too long and I needed to get something to relieve the symptoms and make me sleep" (Uh that should have been my decision!) and LIED TO and DISCOUNTED more than being sold for 1/2 price at the Dollar store. Well, denying and rejecting the truth does not make it anything else but denied and rejected and well I am no stranger to those and I KNOW what I KNOW and I THINK is wrong or needed to correct things too. I am not going to go to appointments to hear more talk and receive more bad treatments that I HAVE TO PAY for even though I have good insurance benefits. WHY??? because the doctors offices' billing centers and coders submit codes to get them the better reimbursement not what is "TRUE" according to proper coding and CPC standards. Or the doctors participate but the OFFICE (Facility) is out of network or does not participate and it is not posted. Just because they "accept and file your insurance" does not mean the insurance payment and adjustment will be accepted. North Carolina has been so expensive due to the crazy practices and lack of regionalized services.
I have found several confirmations of my "opinion" and am working to get a couple of new books. But a few books that I found very helpful and encouraging through this "flare up" are:
What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Fibromyalgia. The Revolutionary Treatment That Can Reverse the Disease by R.Paul St. Armand, M.D., and Claudia Craig Marek. http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/ This book was very easy to read and still "meaty" enough for me with "some" knowledge and Medical experience. Lots of treatment information, a good diet and a treatment plan that holds alot of promise and that I am seriously looking at, once I receive my academy award for the "good patient" and wife letting the Wiser and all knowing Doctors "wait and see how things go". Our follow up appointment from the "Great Disappointment and Major snuffing" isn't for a few more weeks.....
Psychotherapy in Christian Perspective. Edited by David G. Benner. Baker Book House Publishers.
Very informative and helpful in interjecting Biblical principals into the Cognitive, Behavioral and Psychological Treatment areas of counseling and treatment.
Change your Brain Change Your Body by Daniel G. Amen, M.D. (Founder of Amen Clinics, http://www.amenclinics.com/ Very Very interesting and lots of interesting things to look at and Change to improve your overall health. Really proving the Mind/Body connection.
