it in my back as well, but my general doc does not believe in fibromyalgia.. says it is a depression that women get (go figure), and the rheum guy I saw said I didn't have RA or anything else that he could see. Of course, he only did blood work. No x-rays of any kind. He stated "women have these kinds of problems and they are usually just stress-related". I'm sick of going to docs.. wish I could find one that would take me seriously. I work with 2 pillows propped behind my back and neck all day and am so worn out when I get done, all I can do is lie down. Thanks for your advice.

My orthopedist
has a computer in every room. They (nurses, docs, PAs) enter all the information into the computer during your exam. The only thing I can't stand is the way they have them set up. They are set up so the docs back is to you when he is typing, ect....never feel like he is really listenting to me. He's always looking at the computer.
