Thanks both henryo and Willful.
I think I need a different doctor, it's true. I have fibromyalgia now on top of MI. This doctor basically doesn't have a plan except no meds (the allergy metaphor). In the big world, much work is being done with med-sensitive, depressed, fibromyalgia patients. Much more than she is realizing. It's not either souped-up cocktails or total abstinence. I'm going to find a few things that might, could, can work. Self-soothing is going to be a big part of it. And the right exercise. I am intolerant (allergic) to docs who do not understand and throw up their hands.I'm not dead. Fibromyalgia isn't
terminal. And depression doesn't have to be either.Who knows what will work, what the
pieces going into recovery will be.Thanks for your support.
