Re: An observation- Is Devin a real MD?

Thanks Rosie I got the Email.
I hope if anything it helps me quit smoking too!
Feeling like carrrrap even more than I do scares me.

Doug says it's not RLS because he feels fine and it's just his busy season.

Either one it's affecting my sleep! LOL Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
I had to sleep in the other room again and that just plain sucks.

As far as coming along on doctor visits I can swear it really does help
having a second person in the room with you because then doctors are more
careful in what they say and how they say it.

As far as suing I do have black and white proof of things that have gone
wrong and that I can sue for but I really just want all the messes I have
cleaned up and then I will persue the latter part.

Besides the fact I think you being there and getting to hear you tear into a
bad doctor would be side splitting..

Yer psychotic Cheekster. With the MSM if you don't feel lousy after
you start it it ain't workin' for ya. My detox was only 4
days...rather short. But it was worth it. So if ya don't start
feeling cruddy it won't work on ya. Info's comin' to yer Inbox. Sorry
to hear you've got sleep probs. If he's got coverage you need him to
try Requip for hisself.

OK OK OK Rosie Email the dam info and I'll try the darn stuff but I
better not feel worse!
I don't care if it don't work I just don't want to feel worse.

As far as doctors maybe it's time to have you by my side and let you
scream at them. I'm tired of fighting.

I know you're right in some things.

CB PS my osteo in my hips was bad last night, so bad I switched
beds and slept alone.

So hey CB,

Didja ever think you might have something in addition to FM? That
that something else...whutever it may be...is actually progressive
and ya really oughta have it checked out?

There are over 170 kinds of arthritis and a whole heckuva lot of
'em are progressive. And there's other diseases, as well, that can
feel like a 'worsening' of FM but really are worsening diseases of
their own. Just ask LoriBob :-( or MelodyMum, or me for example, or
quite a few others here with muliplicities.

As Kathy in Sacto drummed into so many of us for years....not
EVERYTHING is FM!! The shouting atcha is retaliation for shouting at
ArcherJo. LOL

Whut else could you have? Only yer doctors can know for
sure....but if you're doing crappier year to year get a head to toe
checkup, plz.

Have you ever tried MSM plus C? It was the first thing that ever
actuially gave me any relief at all. Worth a try if ya haven't gone
there yet.

BTW the stuff I have now that I can't start treatment for quite
yet is so garsh awful I've quit having FM flares.Even my FM is
sayin' "WTF? This is a MEAN nasty disease." So dere ya go.

LOL Rosie,
I agree with you that I am not a patient but a "client of medical
services"!

I lost my "patience" a long time ago.

Now on a personal level, I still say FMS progresses otherwise I
would be doing the things I did last year and the year before and
the year before that.

If you want the truth then you ought to be saying that FM is not
progressive. It's not life or limb threatening. Never was, never
will be.Progressive diseases arelife/limb threatening without
effective treatment. If you never treat FM it won't threaten your
life or any of your limbs..ok? Saying FM isn't progressive from
the medical standpoint of what a progressive disease is is
absatively true.

Devin was an original participant of this group and like many
others has moved on to other things. Dunno whut that has to do
with the severity of her FM....all levels there are of severity
of FM have been here and moved on.

Just telling ya what is known to be true...and all here aren't
even alleged to be practitioners. I'm no kind of patient, by the
way: I'm a client of medical services. And that's as true as the
day is long.

just my two cents on the basic points that everyone has been
making here

cb, you posted a 'simple' question.
not complicated, no hidden agendas
[and all know that you can, when in the mood, be a
terror!<vvvvvbg!>

it was just a question - was there an answer to 'the' question
you asked - nope

I would like to concur with Paul's opinions. There has been much
too much going on about D.S. and I feel there might never be an
answer. There is no state thatshas her listed as a doctor ever !.
The remedy could be simplified if she would merely provide the
wheres and whyfores of her general bio info..which is a lot like
commercials...you have to analyze them and ask yourself if the
info being fed to you is true!
A reasonable question was asked and never answered. I find it
especially intriguing that no one else not even other medically
related persons here realize that for her bio this person is IMO
all over the medical map. For her age how many drs do you know
that engaged in such a wide variety of specialties of practice
in her jobs? I'm not talking about the lexture or teaching
circuit after there practice has waned but during active
practice. It has also dawned on me that surely Ms.Starylyn
cannot be afflicted any worse off than the worst of us and yet
she remains puzzling quiet. She must log onto the internet and
into some groups like ourselves that has the same common
interest as her illness yet I've never seen a peep out of her to
settle the score or otherwise. I can appreciate not wanting to
answer a flood of emails but to place pertinant information
like this on strategic sites for the consumers knowledge would
seem to only boost her credability yet I see nothing....dead
silence. It is human nature to remain silent or talk a good
story when caught in a bind like this... i'm seeing
silence...why is that i wonder?? She was well enough to
coauthor a book and consort with her "mentors" yet she can't
post to the internet??! While I as well like to know the real
story on people and information given i think that the very good
book she helped produce in many people's minds outweigh her lack
of credability ( if there is any) in many people's minds and
frankly they don't really care if she is a dr or not.. D.S. is
their pied piper and that will be that until another comes
along. I find her book to be a very good explanative book but
took umbrage in the statement she made about Fibro not being
progressive! As a patient and alleged practitioner I found it
an incredulously wrong and stupid statement to make but despite
that I would recommmend the book to any fibro patient to help
them understand what they've got and how its going to affect
them...no more no less.


I appreciate the product but do not honor this person any more
than the value of her book
nor do I automatically accept that she was a practicing docotor.
Perhaps that is all some other members of this group are trying
to point out. Accept the good but but be aware of the truth.
Its a good rule for much in life today . Dcotors, preachers,
politicians...there's a lot of them out there........weight the
evidence and seek the truth.
