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.

Ahhhh, ok, now I understand. So you went for the rehab program initially but, the analysis of your health prefaced the program. Gotcha! I'm assuming you weren't fully diagnosed upon arrival. I am however, feel more analysis could be done and am hoping I have the same outcome as you. It sure sounds like you gained clarity, structure and hope. I'm patiently waiting for my acceptance.
Thank you for helping me understand. Have a great day!!! 🌻
