Ok.. so I have fibromyalgia. I've been struggling with this for over a year. And when I say struggling.... its been a tough road all the way. First I basically diagnosed myself to my regular Dr after having troubles with different things for a long time. I read about fibro and everything just CLICKED. It was like OMG. So she started treating me and trying different meds(which isn't completely uncommon) what works with one fibro patient doesn't necessarily work for another.
I had her put me on sickleave because I was having so much trouble. Sleeping, whole body feeling like you've been hit with a truck. Trouble with concentration and vision. Anyways she put me off for a month, and sent me to see a physical medicine doctor. So he extended my sickleave, and sent me to aqua therapy. In the mean time I had to deal with loan insurances ... etc. etc. Well my bitch of a doctor wouldn't feel out some of the papers because "she felt I could go back to work" So needless to say she is no longer my doctor.
Then I continue to see the "specialist" and I use this term lightly. Ok so finally he prescribes me Ambien CR for the sleep problems.. GREAT!! and it helps. Well... when I go to refill the script the pharmacy tells me that my insurance won't pay. So I call the specialist office to have the doc ask my insurance for a review... hmmm he no longer works in that office and he has asked that his patients be turned over to the other doctor in that office. Nice huh? Ok... so she can't ask for the review because she's not the doctor that initially prescribed it. So when I see her, she decides to try a different medication. Yee fuckin haw. Well in the mean time I ask for her to fill out FMLA papers which covers my absences from work when I'm unable to work or excuses me to leave early when I can't handle a full day. No biggy right? Well they proceed to tell me she own't fill out FMLA papers because she feels if the person needs to miss work they can come in to see her and get a doctors note. (Can we say money hungry?) So I tell them..... no I don't need another appointment. Needless to say SHE is no longer my doctor either.
