Using this background in the hopes that it will cheer me (and all of you) up. I'm having a bad day. I'm so scared and worried about myself. I woke up this morning with my left armpit swollen and sore. It's better now, but I'm so tired of worrying. I've had a complete, total blood workup in the last 3 weeks that showed nothing major except that my white count was only slightly up and my inflammation factor was 'borderline'. I had a chest x-ray that was normal. I'm still, however, terrified that I've got some horrible fatal disease. I can't get any answers. Everything I read and feel tells me that I more than likely have chronic fatigue syndrome and maybe fibromyalgia, too. I know I have costochondritis & TMJ and those fall under the FM umbrella. I'm so tired of feeling so tired and out of it, having the swollen, sore glands that HURT like the dickens...hurting all over in general. I have about 14 of the 18 trigger points for FM and a bunch of the symptoms. I see this different doctor on Wednesday. I know him as a person from church and he is a kind, Christian man. I just don't know him as a doctor. I'm worried he will think I am crazy or won't take the time with me b/c his office said he "runs on schedule". I wish it were TODAY and I could get it over and done with. I need to shop for Christmas and I don't even feel like I have the energy, and I usually LOVE shopping. It just seems all so overwhelming right now.
