*sigh*
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 months ago. I have been dealing with many different symptoms for about 3 years now. My doctors bounced me from one doctor to the next; "everything is fine", "your results are normal", "it's all in your head", "there is nothing else I can do for you, here's a referral", "there is nothing else I can do for you.... good luck", and other equally helpful phrases were constantly thrown at me. The last rheumatologist I saw said "well, I can't find any reason for your pain so much be fibro." and then handed me some pamphlets.
So there was my diagnosis... In all of my own personal research fibro had of course come up however this doesn't feel like that. Or at least it feels like that plus more. Having a diagnosis has made the doctors even more useless than they were before, if that's even possible. Now it's "it's part of the disease there's nothing you can do", "there are no meds that will help you", "stay active, it will help", "don't be so active and you won't have flare ups".
Ugh. Now what. Keep fighting. Maybe, but I am so tired.
