Not Sure About Your Condition? Posted: 06-02-06 23:06pm
As someone who was undiagnosed for 5 years
of pain, I highly recommend getting a
referral to a rheumatologist and following
through.
When my specialist didn't have any answers
and I didn't test positive for anything, I
didn't accept that it was all in my head.
My imagination is simply not that good!!
:d I kept charts of when I hurt more and
how/where, as well as any unusual symptoms
and what I did each day. It's a lot of
work, but it really helped my specialist
to diagnose me with now only
stress-induced fibromyalgia, but
sero-negative sle.
I hope that my experiences help those of
you who read this. Anyone who has tips
for helping me help my husband to work
with my condition would really help me.
Keep smiling, it's better than crying (and
it won't leave your nose all stuffed up
and sore! :d )
