Hello;
I haven't been on for a while.. But I finnaly have my first apt with the rheumo tommarow, and I am really nervous..
Not sure how he is going to be? Is he one of those docs that thinks "your too young" or " it's all in your head" or
the famous "you need to take time for yourself" you know we have all heard these before..
Chronic pain is in itself draining of all energy, it takes all you have just to function and work , then come home and
try to just get dinner ,dishes and maybe laundry forget any other kind of life.
Evreytime getting closer to a diagnosis something snags, I have no insurance right now, just lost my job, but
decided that I can't cancel this apt. I will just have to pay for it.. I need some answers! i'm only 38 mother of two
teenagers and need some help!!
Symptoms: joint pains,muscle pains,stiffness in joints,weakness in arms and legs,twitching in eyes and foot,sleep problems,pelvic pain,uterine prolapse,mitral valve prolapse,chest pain(feels as though i'm being squeezed)with weakness in arms..Pain is my hip bone,bleeding between periods,heavier periods, urine leakage,constant abdominal pain (right side mostly) pale stools,mucusy, etc etc Easy to sum up PAINNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
TESTS DONE: High sed rate,positive IgA with neg atypical Panca (told not chrohn's)low vitamin d, low calcium,low sodium,high bun/creatine level,low platelet, neg thyroid,neg lupus,neg lyme,neg RA,
Hope to find some answers..If anyone can give some advice as to what to say to the docter tommarow, so he can understand without thinking i'm nuts....
Thanks so much!!!!!!!
