Hello to all my fellow sufferers out there,
I just wanted to write this blog as I've had such a hard time finding a doctor willing to help me or point me in the write direction in terms of treatment.
I've been suffering fibromyalgia for a year now and the symptoms are pretty much excruciating in terms of pain and I feel as though the medical world arnt willing to offer me any treatment. After doing my research and hearing about things like Lyrica and Cymbalta which have been approved by the FDA in America, it makes me so annoyed that I cant find a doctor who is famillar with this sort of treatment or wants to even have a discussion with me about it or could even prescribe it for me.
To even be offered some occasional pain relief on my really bad days in the form of pain killers would be of great help. I am currently living in Sydney but am moving down to Wollongong next week. So my question to you all is, do you know of any doctors out there (either in Wollongong or Sydney) that you've found to be of any help to you in terms of either just wanting to provide you some medications that may help or even just an open mind that is willing to listen to your ailments and maybe offer a suggestion? This would be so much appreciated as I am sick of the sickening feeling of feeling 'let down' each time I come out of a new doctors office in the hope that they were going to help me.
Or is anyone out there in Australia on Lyrica or Cymbalta at all or do you know of anyone? I dont even know if they can prescribe it here.
By the way, I was watching Oprah the other day and they happened to be talking about this new doctor thats been helping people cure there fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. You should check out his website, You can take his online questionare to see what he recommends you could try for treatment for your specific problems. I've ordered some of his supplements. I'll write another post when I get them back and trial them out. You can either google his name- Jacob Teitelbaum, or his website is End Fatigue. com. I just thoughts I'd share this because usually Oprah wont promote something on her show that doesnt have any merrit to it. Good luck everyone with on your path to good health..
