I'm new to this web site and not sure how to use it. I have been ill off and on for about a year and a half. I have been passed from doctor to doctor and all checks out fine in sonograms, blood work, CT scan, Brain CT scan, I continue to have attacks about every four months. They are just terrible, lower abdoman hurst left, right side, below navel above navel, so tired I feel like I can't pick up my feet, nausia, dizzy (afraid to drive) my vaginal area was so dry that it was distroying my though process, Fog in my head, and began to get short term memory. The last visit to the ER my husband demanded that they do something. I have not even had the flu in 20 years and doctors acted like I was crazy. They finally did a test that showed that the inflimation levels in my body were very high. Now I'm with a Rhumatologist and he seems to understand everything I'm saying. He thinks I have Sjogren's. The insurance company sent me information on Fibro and when I read about it I have all the symptoms except weight gain, I have actually lost 20 pounds but I know that is to do with nurves. I'm going through tests and the doctor tells me that they are not conclusive but he still thinks I have Sjogren's. As far as Fibro I show 5-6 of the trigger points but do take pain medication in the morning so I wonder if that could be interfearing with the test. He has not ruled out the Fibro, I'm very confused as to why this takes to long, Can anyone give me advise on this. For some reason prednazone helps they took me off for a few days to check for Addisons and I started to slip back into the symptoms. But I have read Pred. is not good to be on for long. Please, I welcome any advice.
