Hello Jody, Thank you for your reply to me. I want to state, first of all, you sound to be very smart and you seem to have been researching what related to what we are discussing. I have to ask you, with your reply to me; what do you refer to with "FM"? Are you referring to Fibromyalgia? I have been diagnosed with that also by the best of specialists (so called). He has even written two books on the disease/syndrome. People with Fibromyalgia do deal with so much CFS. So, could you answer my question if you meant "FM" to be Fibromyalgia? Now, it is tough, so many times, for professionals to 'Name That Illness/Condition/Syndrome/Disease'. Just as you said with your 'Naturopath' - "..it's simpler to talk about it if you can call it something..." I do have benevolence for a few professionals with trying to pin-point what ails one; yet, I have also been to some bad physicians who only want to herd a patient out of the office with just giving something a name. I hope this not to be your case with something else going on; on top of CFS, and why I did ask a few questions. We are at the mercy of people we see and trust at times to put faith into them to diagnose us correctly.
Thank you for your kind thought with understanding I do, indeed, have "a lot on my plate". I would like to get answers as to why I do suffer with such CFS. I know it is due to: RSD, aftermath of a Hysterectomy gone wrong, and also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia; plus, I deal with Chronic Pain; especially, in my left leg, due to a fracture, and first Orthopedic doctor writing me off as 'well' and healed, and I went around for eight months with my leg still broken. (This caused the RSD to develop.) Plus, I went to another Orth. doctor. He did a surgery to heal this fracture by putting a plate and screws in the area. I did, after that, suffer with an infection. He then took out the plate and screws, but there was a partial screw left in there; along with metal debris which has since caused me four aftermath infections and open wounds which I continuously deal with. Some of my 'CFS' is just from this alone; I am sure of with having to deal with more surgeries to heal the wounds, etc... It is an unwanted cycle. This is why I did ask about any surgeries you may have had. On a side note: never, ever get a Hyst.! It should only be a 'LAST RESORT', and tell everyone you know this. There are too many alternatives - and if one wants to deal with CFS; just have a Hyst., and this is one very common aftermath of problems.
I wish you well, Jody. I appreciate your insight and wisdom.
