Second Email to another Fibromite:

"Dear XXXXX, I am sorry to hear about the severity of your fibro, it's painful enough but Dr. Gatell was the answer for me and many of my friends with Fibro/Chronic pain....I had gone to 6 doctors with this issue and got very little help if none at all. I have had this for 10 years now. I am 45 and just to get up, mornings, is a major thing sometimes...but it's getting better with the help of this man with deep insight and understanding what Fibro - what it does to us. He is someone who will listen, give good advice, and will prescribe what he feel is needed for each individual. So your meds may be the same, or some of the same, it's up to him after during your initial visit. He will work with you my dear, and hopefully his Website can tell you even more than I can about this Doctor, He has many interesting things there and is worth looking into.

He has a cool sense of humor too, which always helps, and he gives more advice concerning both our Physical needs and Emotional needs, as with this dreaded disease (DD), these two walk hand in hand. There is a book he advised me to get when I walked in for one of my visits, an emotional wreck over my emotional problems, and daily issues I face, I am reading it AND the one written for facing and dealing with FAMILY issues, the author is: Richard Carlson, Ph.D. (who also is the author of: Handbook For The Soul) and the two books I have are titled: "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF, (and it is small stuff)" and "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF, ( with Your Family)" It teaches about simple ways to keep daily responsibilities and household chaos from taking over your life (the Family book) and the other one teaches basically the same thing in all areas of our life, simple ways to keep the nagging little things from taking over our life. I suggest you look into these (easy to read format) books ! Dr. Gatell will also advise you on your food intake, beverages, what's good for us, what isn't. I tell ya, he doesn't miss an issue!!!

Here is Dr. Gatell's MAIN site which has links to his other pages, designed for his patients, for their informative needs and enjoyment. Dr. Gatell is beyond a shadow of a doubt, a Doctor, a man, who really CARES about each of his patients, and their needs. Go To: http://drgatell.com/ and his menu will guide you to his other pages as well. Here also is an address that will help you to know more that he features on his site - VERY INTERESTING! VERY INFORMATIVE! Go To: http://drgatell.com/links.htm

I wish you luck, and I say a special prayer for you XXXXX, that you find relief, and that life WILL get better, and it WILL!!!!!

                            Sincerely Yours,
                              Mona B.
