About Condition
If you’re dealing with the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia, you know how frustrating it can be. You’re tired and sore. It may be hard to think clearly. And while there’s no cure for fibromyalgia, there are things you can do to get some relief.
Take an active role in your care
First, take an active role in your care. Schedule regular checkups. Develop a good relationship with your doctor. Ask questions when you don’t understand something. Follow your doctor’s advice. And take your medications as directed.
Focus on health
Focus on your health. Eat nutritious meals. If your doctor says it’s OK, get regular exercise. You may feel tired and achy after exercise, but that’s normal. It doesn’t mean you should stop exercising, because not getting exercise can make your symptoms worse.
Beat stress
Try to lower your stress level. If you feel overwhelmed by things you need to do, break them into smaller tasks. Spread out the challenging stuff. A little planning can help relieve a lot of stress. You can also beat stress with things like meditation and deep-breathing exercises, which help you relax.
Stay positive
Finally, it’s important you don’t lose hope. So stay positive. Reach out to others. Maintain connections with your loved ones and friends. These relationships help provide a support system for you. An actual support group may be helpful, too. And if you’re depressed, tell someone. Talk to your doctor so you can get the treatment you need.
Dr. Lovett and her staff are wonderful at taking care of their patients. They listen to you and are are so kind and understanding. Her office went out of their way to get me in when I needed to be seen before a big trip that I had planned. I cannot say enough about how professional and personal they were to me. I highly recommend Dr. Lovett.
She spends time with you and listens carefully to what you explain about your pain. Her trigger point injections are dead on. She genuinely cares about her patients. She does not over medicate, but she does prescribe medications that actually work together. She also does nerve burns and steroid injections. I have gotten a lot of relief.
Dr. Lovett is one of the kindest, most caring doctors that I have ever encountered. Her staff is terrific and their empathy for people who deal with chronic pain makes it so much easier to deal with. She is an answer to prayer!
Dr. Lovett was listening 100% as we went through establishing my history. She asked great questions and provided the reasoning for medications prescribed. She also ordered an MRI, which no physician has done since my hip replacement revision in 2014. It made sense to me since I have chronic pain and cannot walk without support (cane or walked). I am feeling hopeful for the first time in a long while.
Dr. Lovett and her staff are amazing. Have never met a nicer group of staff to help with anything you need, and Dr. Lovett, she’s a wonderful person. Whether your up or down she’ll make you feel better. And as patients, sometimes we need to listen to our Doctors. They have their ups and downs like every human being.
Be nice to your doctors and staff!!! 💜💙💚
Dr. Lovett is the most compassionate pain doctor I’ve ever known. She truly cares about her patients and does everything she can to help you feel better. Her bedside manner is outstanding and far exceeds most doctors today.
I absolutely love Dr Lovett. She is so caring and truly loves her patients. She has helped me so much. I told her that I had wished God had put her in my life a long time ago during my difficult times with my pain.
Professional, confident, outstanding bedside manner. Never feel like I’m been rushed through appointments. Listens and explains your options. I’ve been a patient of hers for at least a decade and have never had a complaint. Grateful to have her as my Doctor.
Dr. Lovett is a warm and compassionate doctor. If you go to her, you will never want to change!
She was very courteous and great listener and give me all the time I needed to explain my issues and the whole staff was very friendly and helpful in every way. It was the best first doctor visit I have ever had anywhere.
Very good Dr. She listens and takes her time with you. If you need additional tests she will order those. The office has gotten me in before my appointments if I have a problem. The staff is great and I feel at home there.
Dr. Lovett was very caring in talking with me when I underwent a Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection, and answered all my questions clearly. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pain management.
Awesome Doc…Awesome Staff…Incredibly Thorough!
Dr Lovett was caring and explained things much better than the orthopedic doctor
I had searched for 12 years to find the source of my pain!! Many thousands of dollars and specialist! Dr Lovett faund it with one scan!! When other painful illnesss have come up she always listens to me and finds the answers. She has been a life saver!
Dr. Lovett is very nice. She listens and answers questions. She also offers options for treatment when other doctors have failed.
