I am an RN-worked fulltime overtime & on-call for 18 months. After being off work for one year now with my own personal disability coverage I really want to share that 'healing' does happen!!! I have less pain in my lower legs and arms. More energy and some of the symptomes, I find, are delayed after we have over done it. I have experienced this twice before and returned to work.I expect to return to work in spring or summer.Please stay on Diet and with Dr. Swanks regime. I know it works even if I become down in the dumps.I am an R.N. and have gone to other Neurologists and I know the alternatives and their results. They are not positive. I needed to follow up and let you know the GOOD NEWS! I am better and it takes time, rest, Diet, OIL, 'Just say NO,' and maybe fresh frozen plasma infusions. Best to all. P.S. Dr. Swank would say the best out of this is I HAD NO NEW SYMPTOMS!!! The old symptoms fluctuated. Doesn't that sound good?! I would not call this an exacerbation. It is a 'fluctuation of symptoms.'

- Re: I am BETTER!-------so great to hearHi Carol...Regarding your fibromyagia_ there is a very successful treatment (from what I have been told!) done by an endocrinologist in M arina Del Ray. His name is Dr. paul St. Amand. His phone number (hope this is still IT!) is 310-577-7510. I am involved in an organization that he is a large part of, and have heard nothing but great things. Have you tried the guaifenesin treatment? E-mail me if I can be of further help in this. Behave yourself!! :) Donna donna 10:50:51 1/08/2002 (2)
