Pm... I truly want to thank you for the last part of your post... I have had FM for going on 20 years. Last October, I experienced another one of my pain episodes as I call them, Mind you, I have been medication free for 6 years because the side effects were making things worse for me, because I dont metabolize several kinds of meds, my body stores them until they become toxic to me. But when I go the ER there is a certain doctor there that treats me horribly, and says that I am a drug seeker, even tho I never get any scripts, I will do a shot or Iv for pain relief if I am in the ER but I never take a script from them for pain meds. anyway back to my pain in October, I was in extreme pain in the whole upper half of my body, and I walked into and right out of a holloween party I was attending, and told my husband to just take me home. By the time I hit the end of the driveway I couldnt breathe, and all I could do was couph, My whole upper body was on fire, I told my husband to head to the ER, I was determined to get some relief from the pain, even if I had to fight with the evil doctor... I wasnt in the ER 30 minutes before I was in surgery, I had a massive heart attack, with 3 stents put into right coronary artery. 4 days later I had to have 2 more stents put into the left side of my heart. I now have heart failure as my heart is over 50% damaged. Had I just gone home, because of my fear of going to the ER and being treated by the evil doctor... I would not be here today.
