    High White Blood Cell Count, Worry and Frustration: A Scary Story

    Hello Everyone 👋🏻 I want to start my post off with questions: Has anyone ever had consistent issues with high white blood cell counts? Has anyone had to have an Immunofixation Electrophoresis test done for non cancer related conditions? I know, a weird intro, right?! So, I'm 7 years in from a...

    Supposedly Fibro, but perplexed about one thing...

    So after hurting and aching and moping around for years, my rheumatologist thinks I may have fibromyalgia. And it makes a certain amount of sense -- in my mid 30s I really shouldn't ache all over this much, a poke to basically every trigger point makes me jump out of my skin, and the list of...

    Found a way to be taken seriously by doctors

    I am sure we have all been there - been to a doctor who would not take our complaints seriously. Giving us advice such as 'exercise more, eat more, get out more, do things you like more. it could be depression, take it easy' etc etc etc. It is the one thing we do not need when we are already...

    Frustration with Doctors

    I just saw my GP for a follow-up, because the amitriptyline I was taking was not helping my pain or fatigue at all. She repeatedly questioned "my mood" and I'm so damn sick of her insinuating that this is all caused by depression. When I'm having a good day/days my mood is perfectly fine. When...

    So much shame...
