Hello,
so I haven't received my diagnosis yet. However I have been incredibly sick for the past 4 years. I am to the point where just getting dressed to go to the grocery store puts me into a state of exhaustion. And swimming, walking or hanging out with friends puts me out of commission for days.
my grandmother and sister have lupus, my mother has rheumatoid arthritis and my father has fibro.
every test result I've had has come back negative or normal. I've been to 10 different doctors and two specialists and everyone tells me that there's nothing more they can do besides prescribe me medicine (mostly benzos, gabapentin and antidepressants which have done nothing.)
I have been tested for lupus twice and rheumatoid once and I do not have the antibody for it.
I have had to switch medical providers three times now and I'm hoping now I'll be able go get a proper diagnosis and that my doctors and I can come up with a plan that will help relieve this pain and the GI stuff as well.
With all that said, I'm just wondering how everyone was able to get their diagnosis. Did you guys bring up that you, yourself think that it could be fibro or did the doctor give you a fibro diagnosis since everything had been ruled out?
I appreciate you guys reading this and welcome all responses.
Thank you!
