    waiting for diagnosis, lots of questions

    I'm currently waiting on a diagnosis. My doctor seems sure I have either fibro or CFS, but will not diagnose me cuz that's not her field of expertise, and she said its too easy to get a false negative if you're not an expert at putting the pieces together. So, now I wait for a referral, but its...

    Insurance!

    I am not happy right now. I received a call from my insurance stating my out of pocket for my Remicade infusions for my psoriatic arthritis will cost me $9,000 per year! Needless to say, I cannot afford that. It was really helping me tolerate the arthritis and works better than the other...

    Insurance and pain therapies

    My insurance often does not cover as much as I would hope. I am wondering how insurance works for you all. What type of pain therapies will or has your insurance provider covered for you?

    Newly diagnosed and overwhelmed

    After being treated for pain but never diagnosed with anything for nearly 2 years, I was completely frustrated. During this time I was also tested to see if I had early onset Alzheimer's (I don't) and have also been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Thought I was going crazy. I finally found a...

    Diagnosed, then sicker than ever with Cymbalta

    Two Thursdays ago I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. My walk-in clinic doctor diagnosed me. I originally went to her to get a referral to the rhumatologist (I say "the" because she's the only one where I live that's in my insurance's preferred network, and the other hospital has a very...

    Problems with meds

    So my physician and rheumatologist are having some problems finding meds that work. I can not take any opiates (this happened after the fibro started as before i could and it worked for a leg injury i had years ago, and before the fibro for TMJ again without any problems) as they cause the pain...
