after suffering w/fibro for yrs when no one had ever heard of it [was sent to head drs,etc,]i finally found a nurse practioner who would give me pain meds.then the dr she worked with decided i couldn't have them,but he did send me to a pain clinic.it was NOT a good experience.was treated as a drug addict,so asked for a diff one.WHAT a diff.!!!i get the meds i need,& my pain is treated w/BELIEF& understanding!!keep trying,there are drs out there that teat women's pain as real &NOT in her head!!!
