Question
My wife has been treated for many years for what we thought were migrane headaches, turns out we find that she has fibromyalgia. What started in her head and neck has slowly worked it’s way down to her hips and lower back.The pain is so bad lately that she cannot lay on here side or do things that most of us take for granted.When it comes to sleep she doesn’t get very much at all, she can only sleep for an hour or so and then the pain wakes her up and she has to fight to go back to sleep.There is no such thing as a deep sleep for her. As with the person who wrote the original question, my wifes doctors seem baffeled by this and have tried many different medicines none of wich seem to work.My wife is only 32 years old and looks and feels much older.She doesn’t have the energy or stamina to live here life comfortably,and I feel that I’m watching her slip away from me day by day.I don’t know if this is the right place to come to but I’ve got to get help somewhere, we have insurance and would be willing to travel to find someone who can please return my wife to me and her life back to her.We live in Ky.
Answer
One of the world’s experts in fibromylagia is Dr. Daniel Clauw at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. It may be worth the trip.
