Patient Stories
My doctor was talking about meds for depression and I know I’ve been down lately and it all seemed like a blur. Well, I looked at my [PatientsLikeMe] charts and found the DATES that I was listing depression for. Then, I looked at my pocket calendar and my emails from those dates to figure out what was going on…now I’m equipped to give the doctor information that will help us make a decision about my care. This is a very important (and emotional) subject for me because I was worried that my doctor will disregard the symptoms of my fibro in favor of treatment for depression, and I felt strongly that this was the wrong course of action but now I feel like I have “data” to show him. Otherwise, in my poor fibrofogged brain, I wouldn’t have really put all these dates and symptoms together without the help of this website.
