and yep youre right hohoyumyum (i dunno ur name sorry! lol)..the dr said i have to go back on 2 months to see how my new dose is working for me, she checked the tender points again today and they hurt even worse than last time! so now im going on amitripyline (the pharmacist told me to ask her about it first cause of my high BP) so she said its only 10 mg so it should affect my BP..and i have to take aleve or something to help too.. she said theyre pretty much treating me for fibro already cause that medicine is what they give people with fibro.. although my GI dr gave it to me for my bad ibs pain.. she also kept asking how many times i go to the bathroom, she asked if it smelled bad LOL doesnt it all?? .. and im on a water pill now so she was asking how many times that made me pee.. if i get dizzy, if i have heavy periods..etc..she checked my potassium levels today and no doctor has ever done that before! cause i told her im weak, i can barely pick up a gallon of juice or milk or something and she said something is not right there.. she also felt my stomach which hurt when she touched it,and im on my monthly so she was feeling around my lower stomach around ovaries (major pain) so she looked back in the computer to where i was complaining about painful cycles in the past and she said it sounds like i have a female problem too but she wants to rule out other things first, she also asked if my ibs got worse during my monthlys.. of course it gets tons worse.. soo she said the things im feeling can be a number of things, but shes really leaning toward fibro more than anything.. and to see how the pills work out for me.. she also said to try and lose some weight (which ive been trying forever it seems and nothing is helping!).. so ill keep trying and if i dont, im gonna go complain again lol. haha.. anyways i hope this post makes sense, it was hard trying to remember everything!
