called a hypochondriac


by: T M on Thu, Jun 07 2007

I had suffered through a low back fusion, then a cervical fusion-afterwards I developed fibromyalgia-I had no idea what it was nor did the first 7-13 doctors I saw along the way-I was called a drug seeker, a drama queen, unmotivated (prior I raised 3 kids while working and graduated with an associate nsg degree with honor)

I left many MD offices in tears. Finally I was sent to a pain specialist-even him, at first said he did not believe in the syndrome-I brought him info off the internet-every symptom I had been discribing over the years were there-right down to the irritable bowel, bladder-everything. Finally he admitted I had this and has treated me for it. I still hurt I still suffer but I am surviving.
