I’m certainly not a formally trained mental health professional, but I’m pretty good at picking up things, you know, and noticing things, and mining these things out of people’s histories in a respectful way. So, we utilize a lot of questionnaires, a lot of gateway, kind of, scenarios to have them answer that question for themselves, and then give them information on all these different things, whether it’s classic fibromyalgia or a lot of these pseudo, you know, different things that may be getting them erroneous diagnosis. You’ll have them say things like, “It’s a muscle problem. So, we talked a little bit about the classic fibromyalgia, the achiness ideas, anxiety. Most researchers hate the name at this point because it implies the pain is coming from the muscles and the soft tissues, and we know now that’s not the case, it’s just where the pain is perceived. He’s been featured in top media outlets like “Elle” and “NPR.” And he’s also published in leading peer-reviewed medical journals including “Open Journal of Rheumatology and Autoimmune Disease and Integrative Medicine,” a clinician’s journal. And then the other thing we really do is we really look hard at the patient’s thyroid state, including peripheral conversion of thyroid hormones, response to thyroid hormones, and we really optimize thyroid and mitochondria as a side to treating the classic fibromyalgia because it’s very important. It could take the form of a very authoritarian, impossible to please male figure, like father figure, particularly if they were very stern, very strict, yelled at them, verbal abuse, physical abuse certainly, and any kind of history within the family, you know, of sexual abuse is almost an express ticket to fibromyalgia, anxiety, panic disorder, IBS, things like that. Researchers have found that repeated nerve stimulation causes the brain of people with fibromyalgia to change. Who always comes out on top the list? So, it really opened my eyes to that.

So, I’m lucky enough to be in a larger group practice, like you mentioned, a whole body of medicine up here in Fairfield, Connecticut, where, you know, one of my colleagues, Dr. Adam Breiner, is an expert in functional EEG, does a lot of traumatic brain work, does a lot of other, you know, work with PTSD people and so forth. It’s good for clinicians to read.
And I’ve dealt with so many patients with so many disorders like that. And, you know, I’m not a mental health professional. Instead, there are tests done to exclude other diagnosis and which will tell the doctor that this is what the patient is dealing with in return.
