Apparently every single one of my symptoms is from fibromyalgia. Everything. It causes everything. How is that even possible? I guess I'll post all my symptoms eventually. There are many. He did tell me something scary. He said that right now I can control it by exercising and taking meds, but when I get older it will be a curse. Scary stuff! In that case, I should take the meds when I'm older instead of taking them now and becoming immune to them...
My dentist gave me my tooth today, too.
I did some light house shopping and cleaned a little more. I didn't feel as much pain today as usual. Normally, I would think of it as a good sign that I'm getting well, but now I know better. Fibro is not curable. Sometimes the pain lessens, but it's always there. And it's not going anywhere. And sometimes it's so bad that you can't move.
Either way, I think today should have been more productive. And tomorrow I'm off to the neurologist!
For awhile, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which is apparently the syndrome they give you when they are stumped but feel they should give a theory lol) and they blamed everything on that.
ReplyDeleteThey later found other things, but sometimes it takes a patient to do some of their own research and look into "alternative medicine" such as nutrition and digestive issues, which I found plays a huge role in my health, but not one western doctor ever suggested to me.
Not to say they aren't right. They could very well be.
Just remember there is always hope, and ways to manage pain and whatnot. It just may or may not come from a western doctor.
Good luck! *Hugs*
