My mom had FM, till her death in Nov, we had the same doc and both of us have talked to her about me having FM, but she says just depression. I do try to yell at docs, but it took them 20 yrs to diagnosed a stomach problem which was causing my being overweight. Now they just want to keep me on Effexor, that is why I went cold turkey. I am in the process of finding a different doc. I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrom. Will keep yelling at docs, but sometimes, it is as senseless as yelling at my kids.
Marlene
P.S. Thanks!
