During my appointment I was asked if I'd heard of the Meiers' Theory, before (I'm not even sure if I referred to that correctly with my foggy fibro brain) (or lack of brain at all). Anyway, a huge list of lab work was ordered for me & based on the results infusion therapy will be tailored to my needs. Apparently there is a line of thinking that fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue are different gamuts of the same disease. The thought is that even if we are eating healthy, for some reason our bodies are not processing the nutrients & minerals we need properly. So then we get these handy dandy infusion therapies based on the lab work saying what we need. I've read before about chronic fatigue being linked to a stomach virus of some sort so, while I'm done being a lab rat for test-driving new drugs I am more than willing too offer up some blood & try drinking a V8 or something through my arm. Like I told the doctor, after 15+ years I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get my life back, I need to be able to take care of my family. Unfortunately, as it is I practically live at the Pain Clinic so now with this added in, maybe I'll get my own room? Who knows?! Wish me luck & I hope that any information I've provided is helpful to anyone else in need of it. I have to add too that trying to walk correctly (not on the outsides of my feet) made me feel like a teeny-bopper in spike high heals for the first time. Ugh. Baby steps for the old lady, baby steps for all of us in this thing called coping with chronic pain. Be well & be blessed, love ~kat


I'm glad you finally got some level of control on the monster!
Good luck with the it sounds like something well worth pursuing. You'll have
to keep us posted.
