Hello everyone it's been some time since I've been on the site. I hope everyone is doing okay. I saw the rhumatologist yesterday. The neuro sent me there because of my ana 1:160, esr 31 everything is fine not high enough to worry, Thank God they didn't find anything, but it's so depressing not knowing what's wrong with you. I go back to the Neuro 2/28/08. She had to take me off the elavil I was experiencing side effects (enlarged breast, increased hunger, more fatigue than I experienced before she put me on them) so I guess she'll prescribe something else for the pain/depression, to be honest they did nothing for the pain anyway. I'm still trying to get an appointment with the medical dr she said my thyroid showed enhancement on the mri. It's so difficult to get treatment I don't have insurance since I lost my job because of being absent due to the pain, several people have sid that I should apply for ssi is this something you can do without a diagnosis? any feedback back would be greatly appreciated
