Betty, I'm astounded that you rheumy reacted this way to you. After all isn't this her specialty.

It's odd, my gp is the one who always seems negative about my trying to go on disability, getting a handicapped license, etc. etc. My rheumy is the one who always treats me like a person, these past couple of years I have been in a very bad flare so every time I see her it seems I end up in tears, she is so compassionate and always investigates every new problem to ensure that it is not something else before we chalk it up to FMS.

Nice to hear about someone else who has painful feet, some nights I look at my feet and wonder how the pain can be soooo intense, but they look like everyone else feet - normal.

Cynthia, thanks for the info on sleep medication. I'll be well armed with information when I next see my doctor and maybe try something else.

Barb
