Waiting for answers


by: Jennifer on Wed, Apr 23 2008

I have had many problems with pain for 16yrs. It was thought to be “woman troubles” until they took every female part out and I still suffered with pain that has become more wide spread, and more severe in the recent years. Many people (including specialists) say I have fibro. but no one will diagnose it. My family Dr. finally refered me to a rhuematologist. There are very few in Wichita ks, and I have been waiting for two mos. and now My appt. has been pushed back another mo. I can’t even get the new pain management Dr. to return a call when he asks me to call him. Am I the only one who feels like a leper. Are there other options? I am now to the point where I am too tired to get out of bed, and a single parent who can’t work sometimes.
