[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 137438"] Hi Heather, I'm so very sorry. I really like what Linda posted and it resonated with me in a major way. I even think I read the book she sited. I do know that I had to fire my neurologist who was treating me for migraine pain because the bottom line was he was uncaring SOB and in my humble opinion uncaring doctors make mistakes. Later, I developed high blood pressure and went to one of the best cardiologists in town. This is the doctor that the doctors go to see. He put me on a high blood pressure medication that worsened my migraines. When I complained, he treated me like dirt. I had to get my new neuro to treat me for high blood pressure, because he understood that I couldn't sacrifice being in horrible daily pain for perfect blood pressure and that we might have to experiment with many medications to find something that worked for ME. I also have lupus and possible Fibro and tend to let this same doctor (the neuro) treat me, simply because I find that someone who really cares does me best. What I'm saying, is don't hesitate to doctor shop and/or get second opinions. Be assertive. AND give a lot of points for a doctor that really cares about your well being. Also...be proactive in every way that you can. Eat good healthy foods. Take vitamins. Get to bed on time. Avoid stress when you can. (Are you taking a B50...so good for stress!) I believe Tiapet mentioned resting on a special couch orwith a blanket. I have one of those blankets that look like they are made of mink. Sometimes when I'm very tired or overly stressed, I'll lay on the couch with that and it is dreamy. We all need a place for quiet relaxation...esp. if there is a difficult child in the picture! Even if it is a struggle...count your blessings. Keep your sense of humor. Your body certainly is having a rough time of it right now, but in time it will respond in a positive way. Wishing you healing (Hugs). [/QUOTE]
