Back to the diagnosis loop

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Went to my neurologist Friday. He got my blood work and x-rays

back. Said I don't have Lupus and I don't have Rheumatoid

arthritis. So, it's the second verse of the same song I've been

getting for 4 years now. First I have it, then I don't, but my

symptoms never change, and I never feel better.

Now they are pointing excitedly to Fibro. I fit all the symptoms but

display none of the triggers. My neuro wants to wait and see if my

memory and language problems get better for a month and then he's

going to send me in for serious diagnostic tests. I just want to

know what makes him think I'll suddenly get better next month when

I've been getting increasingly worse for a year?

At some point I hope to find a doctor that is man/woman enough to

look me in the eye and say the words....I have no idea what's wrong

with you, and I don't know how to find out. Instead I keep getting,

let's wait and see if you spontaneously get better crap.

Ah well, I'll have to let it roll off my back. I'm moving into my

new house tomorrow, the holidays are upon us, I'm leaving Saturday to

fly to see my mom, and I'm not going to let the constant feeling

awful get me down. I'm going to do what I can and sleep when I have

to.

Have wonderful holidays everyone. I won't be back on till early

January.

I feel for ya guy!

Been there .. worn out the t-shirt .. just hang in there and dont give up.

More than likely the doctor is just as frustrated as you are ..

only difference is .. he is getting paid for it .. smiles .. too bad it isnt the

other way around eh?

Happy Holidays .. and I am glad you are finally getting into your house!

Be safe ..
