Hi guys, I talked to my rheumatologist today about my blood tests from last week. They call came back normal. My next appointment with him is August 3rd. He didn't prescribe me anything different...
Hi mamabear, Welcome to the forum. I am new here myself and still waiting on a diagnosis. Everyone here is very supportive. I enjoy yard work too and it's hard not to be able to do it yourself. Over...
Hi bridget, I was tender in about 14 of the 18 years that he touched. A few more tender than others....
I am hoping something gets diagnosed soon. He thought it was fibro but I'm glad he is doing the other blood tests. Most everything else has been ruled out at this point. He did give me something to...
Hi everyone, I had my appt with a new primary care physician yesterday. I really liked him and he said my neurologist was very good. That made me feel better. He was impressed that I had kept my own...

I too have had good and bad experiences with chiropractors. I have a great one now and she always asks if I'm comfortable or if it's too much pressure or something. She takes the time to listen and I...

I got copies of my first MRI today. It mentions white matter and not gray matter. How do I find an MS specialist? Would that be a different neurologist?...
