Evaluation forms
You’ll find that there are three different sets of evaluation forms. One is for your initial evaluation and the other two are used in monitoring your progress with metabolic rehab. Please feel free to contact FunPhysio if you have any questions about which set you need to download, fill out, and send to us. The forms are in pdf format so you will need to have Adobe Reader installed in your computer to download and open these files.
You can find the current version of Adobe Reader, a free software download, at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
If you aren’t sure whether or not you would be a good candidate for metabolic rehab, please go ahead and fill out the initial evaluation forms. You can either fax them to 1.888.728.3490 or email them as pdf files to info@funphysio.com.
Dr. Honeyman will review them at no cost to help determine if you are a good candidate for metabolic rehab. She will reply via email to let you know her initial impressions of your situation.
1. Initial evaluation forms
Dr. Honeyman wants to look over your initial evaluation forms before she meets with you for your metabolic evaluation. She wants to be sure that your symptoms are consistent with those of a patient with hypometabolism before you schedule an appointment.
Please fill out all of them including the ones that refer to fibromyalgia. These are all asking about symptoms of impaired thyroid hormone regulation and are very helpful in reviewing your health history. Please take your time when you fill them out so Dr. Honeyman gets the most complete information that you can provide. When you meet for your evaluation, she will already be familiar with your health history. By doing this, more of your time with her will be spent on developing your treatment plan and learning how to fully engage in metabolic rehab.
This set includes:
Body diagram to shade in areas where you have pain (pdf)
Case History (2 pages) (pdf)
FibroQuest form (4 pages) (pdf)
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) (pdf)
Zungs’ Self-Rating Depression Inventory (pdf)
“Are you overstimulated?”(pdf)
Please be sure to fill out the “Are you overstimulated?” form even if you are not yet using thyroid hormone or don’t suspect that you are overstimulated. This form will give Dr. Honeyman and you a reference point to work from as you discuss the possibility of overstimulation as you progress with treatment.
2. Monitoring forms
The second set is for people who are going to send in forms to FunPhysio for ongoing monitoring of their responses to treatment. Many of the forms are the same ones that you filled out prior to coming in for your metabolic evaluation. You can still participate with this system of monitoring even if you didn’t come in for an evaluation. This system of monitoring is simpler for most people since you fill out the forms, fax or snail mail them, and we will score and graph the data for you. A 15-minute telephone consultation is included with the fee for this type of monitoring.
This set of forms includes:
Body diagram (pdf)
FibroQuest (pdf)
FIQ (pdf)
Zung’s (pdf)
“Are you overstimulated?” (pdf)
3. Do-it-yourself monitoring forms
The third set is for people who want to monitor and graph their responses on their own.
This set includes:
Blank visual analog scales - you decide which symptoms to track (pdf)
Graph paper (pdf)
“Are you overstimulated?” (pdf)
Metabolic rehab is a precise, data-driven treatment protocol and your success depends on monitoring your responses at regular intervals. If you aren’t monitoring your responses with one of these methods, you are not actually engaging in metabolic rehab. Please call us at 303.413.9100 if you need help with your monitoring.
