Hi Everyone,
I am new to the group and got a formal diagnosis of Fibro from my Neurologist recently. Have had severe chronic fatigue for about 25 years, I am a 45 year old female. Been screened for just about every thing that could be causing my illness, always trying to find out what is wrong with me. Recently I was tested for several things including MS due to swollen feet.
PMDD, Hypoglycemia, IC, are other issues that I deal with, now I think it is all apart of the Fibro.
Wondering if anyone else feels like I do about getting a diagnosis of Fibro.....like there would be more understanding and respect if it were Relapsing Remitting MS? Similar symptoms but MS has more respect, it is more "real" because there are definite tests. It still does not feel real to me, i just wish that there was a definite test.
Also, do I really need a Rheumatologist I don't want drugs.
Hope that I am making sense, it is one of those brain fog days!
God Bless,
Kat
