Hello @healingone. I'm wondering if when you mention the internist at Mayo putting you through the mill...are you are referring to your entrance to the pain rehab program? I'm in the process of gaining acceptance to the program and as I understand it, I will be assigned a team to assess me. Is this what you are referring to when you speak of your diagnosis?

I went to the Internist and asked her to find all the things I was dealing with and tell me how to best increase my quality of life. She sent me for testing and several specialist.
The rheumatologist diagnosed my Central Sensitization with Fibromyalgia.
A Pain Specialist diagnosed Chronic Pain Syndrome and referred me to the Pain and Rehabilitation Program.
At the program itself, a doctor spoke to me at intake, I had paper and computerized tests, met with nurse that managed my meds, had urine analysis, met with OT AND PT as far as I can remember.
Daily I Dr. Sletten gave instruction related to Central Sensitization; I participated in balance, flexibility, strength building, and cardio exercises, and I had OT.
Every 3 days I met with the team, representatives from all of the doctors, therapists and nurses, to check on my progress.
I had biofeedback, nutrition, and pain distraction sessions as well.
15 days packed with information and strategies improving my quality of life.
A Psychologist, Nurses, OTs, PTs are the main leaders in the PRP.
The other specialists and testing the Internist sent me to before the Pain and Rehabilitation Program.
