They were testing how the brain reacts to various degrees of pain by doing fMRIs while pressure was applied to the thumb. The hypothesis was that the brain of a fibro patient would light up in pain areas even with slight discomfort, because of hypersensitivity. Ultimately, they were hoping to develop a diagnostic tool, rather than just the current assessment of a collection of data. So then your less-than-warm-and-fuzzy doc could have sent you for this definitive test and said, "Aha! She DOES suffer from pain! We need to take care of her." Instead of the "Yeah, whatever, this is all subjective" attitude so prevalent in the medical world ....Yenta Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573241381406620036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-54192470521323792372010-12-09T06:06:12.577-05:002010-12-09T06:06:12.577-05:00:( I hope you feel so much better soon Robin!

You are so right when you say that sometimes people have to actually experience something before they feel even a touch of compassion but still, a doctor? You'd think he'd show a little!<br /><br />Hope that somewhere in the midst of all this you manage to have a really good day!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564805397010089954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-18544393417710043022010-12-09T01:33:12.721-05:002010-12-09T01:33:12.721-05:00Gosh Robin, I do the same thing.

It seems everything - mentally and physically is just whooosh down the hill.
