Well another sleepless night has past, and its 6am again. Today I should be getting the Sub of Attorney in the mail. After I sign it, I’ll attempt to bust my ass down to the Mail Boxes Etc. and have it faxed over. No sense in waiting for snail mail, it’d take 4 postal days just to go the 40 miles to Santa Ana. And then she will wait 5 days before she even acts upon the request. Why? Because she said she would. Why not just send it all out the same day when she gets it? Because she is a lawyer, and they just love to frustrate people, and procrastinate.
Today I’m going to try to find myself a psychologist, and or psychiatrist. Hopefully my last psych, Dr Brown, will be able to help me with this endeavor. It kind of scares me to think of having to go through the phonebook and choose some random person, and make 10 million phone calls. Atleast this way I hope it will be less calling around, comming from a trusted source. Dr Brown has been pretty much been the most helpful in this all. Listening to me, and what I have to say, giving me positive things to try and focus on in my life. I really miss my visits with him. I hope my new psych will be as nice.
I think the hardest thing that I’ll be doing this week is trying to find a Doctor who will treat me for Fibromyalgia. I’m threw screwing around seeing these doctors who just want to ship me off to someone else. I probably wouldn’t mind if they actually listened and sent me to the right doctor. I’ve only been withheld my needed treatment for 8 months. Of course having to move, and then finding another deadbeat lawyer didn’t exactly shape things the way I had hoped for.
I can only hope that things don’t crumble down around me, because I do not have a lawyer. I hope that between myself and my Dad, things will start to get worked on. I just calculated that on July 26th, 2004, I will have spent a total of nearly 8% of my life dealing with the petty crap associated with the Workers Comp System.
Maybe I might be able to get a power nap in today, but I doubt that, too much sunlight, and I can’t nap for beans.
Welp, I guess I should make a call to Dr Brown’s office and leave a message for Judy. She was really nice too.

I was just browsing and came across your blog (yes, it does seem weird peeking into other people’s personal lives!). So sorry to hear of your FMS. I’ve had CFS for about 20 years or so, and am now at about 80% of the elusive “normal” after a relapse in 1994. Never any pain, which I am very grateful for (and why I know I don’t have FMS). Still hard to say why I am better, though I’d have to say time itself is probably the biggest factor. That and avoiding stress as much as possible (physical and emotional), trying to get good sleep and taking supplements / meds that have supported my body / brain.
I really hope it doesn’t sound like a sales-pitch, but I am hoping to get more input from individuals who are dealing with FMS on my non-commercial website called RemedyFind. A couple of years ago I decided to start a website where CFS and FMS patients could rate the effectiveness of the treatments they have tried. The idea being that over time the most effective meds, supplements and other therapies might make themselves apparent. Hard to say if we’ll ever reach that goal, but the site has since grown to cover a number of other health conditions (mood disorders, auto-immune conditions etc.), and users do seem to like seeing all the various treatment options that are available, and reading other people’s experiences.
Anyway, if at any time you do feel like doing ratings of some of the FMS treatments you have tried – good, bad and ugly – it would be great. More than a hundred treatments are listed, from meds to supplements, alternative, self-care therapies etc.. The site is free and privacy is strictly protected – you make up your own member name and no contact info etc. is ever shared with anyone.
Here is the page for the Fibromyalgia section -
