Dead Ends

My pain has been especially horrible since Sunday. It was so bad this morning that I took Meloxicam and now my mouth is going to hurt for the next few days or weeks. Ugh. It didn't even help. At least I don't think it did. I was in horrible pain the entire day.

My new diet is helping some things. My skin hasn't been as itchy, and I think my acne is clearing up. Under my nails has been smelling weird lately, and I clean them a lot. I think it's the diet. I feel a little better foodwise. I found some things I can eat and I don't crave meat as much as I used to. 

The neurologist office rescheduled my EMG for 3 weeks from now. And this is after I was already waiting about a month or more for it. I was going to go tomorrow and then schedule another test. Also, he was supposed to explain results from other tests to me tomorrow. :: shakes head ::

My allergist originally told me he'll refer me to a nutritionsit and a gastroenterologist, but then changed his mind and said that only my primary doctor is allowed to give referrals, when every single doctor I've been to has given me a referral- and he even said he would. 


I also have this new pain. I'm not sure how to describe what kind of pain it is. But I had it in my chest for a long time. It started on the right side, and I always thought it might be my heart, but then it started on the left side and got stronger there. So I thought it might be my lungs or something. Now the pain starting in my upper/middle back about a few weeks ago, exactly opposite the pain in my chest. :: sigh ::

My wrists are getting worse. Much worse. I can barely turn doorknobs. I keep thinking doors are locked when they aren't. I can barely turn the knobs on the sink. My rheumotologist said it's carpel tunnel syndrome or fibromyalgia, but my neurologist said that it's definitely not CTS. I don't know anymore...

Every single doctor is attributing my symptoms to something else. I'm sick of it already. Ok, they all agree that I have fibromyalgia. But it doesn't stop at that. I'm sure I have something else too. Will I have to wait another 10 years to find out what that is, too? Will it be too late by then?
