Doctors diagnosed fibromyalgia in my case. Back in the late 1980s a general surgeon diagnosed
it as "fibrositis". My rheumatologist diagnosed it as well, in 2001, well after it began being
referred to as "fibromyalgia", but it is the same as what used to be called "fibrositis", an
inflammatory disease of the connective tissues. Neurosurgeons I've treated with, orthopedic
doctors I've had to go to for independent medical evaluations, chiropractors, and general
practitioners, have all included fibromyalgia in their diagnoses. It's painful, but I don't
take anything for it. The rheumatologist prescribed Klonopin, but I didn't care for the side
effects, and only used it about a month.
When my child was a toddler, she was diagnosed with colitis, which is commonly referred to as
IBS, now, and she was placed on the prescription drug known as Bentyl, to help treat it. I have
it also, and have tried a considerable amount of SSRIs, but I've remained outside the group of
people that they help with depression, fibromyalgia, too, as well as not being in the
substantial group of patients they help with IBS.
There is no such thing as Morgellons Disease. It is a scam created by Mary Leitao, who is off
her rocker (to put it mildly), as well as her partners in crime at the Morgellons Research
Foundation. They are preying upon the population of the mentally ill, and need to be lynched.
(Ha, don't I wish.)
