...continuation. How do I find a doctor who will get to the bottom of this? I feel like a wreck all the time and I am only 22. I can't keep up with my friends and often I miss out on things because I am just too wrecked. I just feel like I must look like a hypochondriac, and when they keep testing me for things and it all comes back clear I feel like giving up and just living like this. Wish you lived here!!

@MissRuthKatherine email me and I'll see if there's someone I can send you to near you

OK,,, So its almost 2:30 AM and I just watched you for the first time. I'm wishing I could get on a plan right now and fly anywhere in the US to see you and try and get my life back.

Where are you?

however I guess a firbomyalgia diagnosis would be better than no diagnosis at all

[clarkchiro]

@Cypress36199 I don't think "fibromyalgia" is a useful diagnosis at all. All it really means is that you have "unexplained pain." It doesn't tell one what to do about it, or what caused the symptoms. Granted, we human beings like to have some sort of grip on what's happening to us, so getting a diagnosis/label can be comforting at first.

Sadly, that comfort quickly becomes cold comfort.

I came to this video because of facebook debate about Fibromyalgia. I was trying to make the same point about the term. It is almost the same as saying I have a bad case of the "Plague." A bad diagonsis can be worse than none at all. But I am not an MD, and there are "true believers" in the term unfortunately.

All that I have ever asked for was for my doctor to take time and talk to me. Every doctor that I have ever talked to his labeled me as a fibromyalgia patient and granted me narcotics. Thank the Creator I am not a junkie. No matter what I visit for on that day, they say its fibro. I would hate to be having a heart attack, they would say oh its just fibro, go home and take hydrocodone or some other drug.

thanks. Some good medical perspective on youtube! I have Lyme disease and really was dismissed by many doctors during the first 3 years of being sick.

I also want to mention that I have avoided the 7 foods for 4 months now. I couldn't agree more.

thank you, thank you, thyroid, lymes, epsen barr, anemic, miscarrages, cfs, low D, low vit Bs etc etc etc. Docs say it's all in your head, call it fibromyalgia, the patient gets blamed and told it's your imagination, but the reality of that diagnosis is your doctors are lazy, and wants to belittle you so while picking your self esteem back off the ground, where they stomped on you, you forget to look at the doctor and notice he isn't doing his/her job and are too lazy to help.

[MissRuthKatherine]

I don't know if you are still replying or not but I thought your vids were very interesting! my mum was diagnosed with fibro about 10 years ago, and I was told I had it last year, but I just can't help thinking there must be a reason! I sleep for days, I have colds all the time the last time i didnt was about 11 weeks ago, I'm so sore all the time, i've been tested for autoimmune, celiac, and lots of other stuff, and it all comes back clear....

Dr Clark treats the underlying reason of WHY you have an affliction.

Treating the symptoms of your condition will NEVER fix the cause of your condition.

Listen to this man and learn from him.

Dr Clark - thank you for thinking outside the box and treating the body, not the symptoms.

Simply brilliant.

Keep up the great work Doctor. You are a healer in the truest sense of the word.

Nothing but respect.
