I think my plan of attack is to try to get in with the GP, try to get in with the neurologist, and if all else fails I can just go hibernate somewhere with some Ben & Jerry's. :D @Faiqa: Thanks.

All I can say is if you think you need a new GP, get one!! That can often be the point of failure in chronich pain management, IMHO. I hope you feel a little better today...

I need to get a new general practitioner, and I should probably see a neurologist. Acupuncture sounds so cool, though. Hmn. <strong>@Ted:</strong> Ha, says you! Just ask anyone who knows me. I am so negative. I try to be optimistic, though. :P @Nikki: I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. I need to get a new general practitioner, and I should probably see a neurologist.

I wish there was something I could do. You're optimism and spunk are encouraging to me though. I've been down and out before and when I think of you or others with larger issues, ... it's just humbling. You are dealing with what you're dealing with because you're tough and can handle it! I'll send hopes and prayers and my warmest regards. May your days of comfort always outnumber your days of pain. (=- And keep writing! Yeah. I wish there was something I could do.

I hope so too. And no, you don't have to register. (: <strong>@Ted:</strong> Yeah, tell me about it. Unfortunately there really isn't anything that helps. Thermacare heat wraps help when my wrists and hands are really bothering me, but that's about it. They're expensive, though, and don't help the rest of my arm. Thanks for your encouragement. Curling up with a book is definitely a good cure! @Rhiannon: Thanks. I hope so too. And no, you don’t have to register. (:

That's bumming news. I'm sure there's someone out there who's going through similar ups and downs; don't give up. There does need to be an easier way to break into the doctor/healing network. I wish more professionals networked on "our level" instead of waiting until OPRAH asks them all for help on her show. Blah! Is there anything that's at least making things comfortable, or are you just always at the mercy of how you feel when you wake up each day and the sporadic flaring throughout the day. I prescribe a hot bubble bath, cocoa, and a book. It may not help your arms but it's therapy for your heart. Don't get discouraged. Keep on keeping on! Ciao for now sis. *squeeze* Aww ‘LIZ.
