It was only a matter of time before I found the proper auto-immune disease that fit my symptoms. Trust me, it’s not like I WANT another diagnosis….especially one where there are few treatements, but it is also good to know that I’m not just nuts. I had my first doctors appointment this week to discuss with the doctor Fibromyalgia and an arthritis gene that I likely carry. When I explained everything that has been re-occuring he had to agree that it sounds like fibromyalgia. He apologized and said he was sorry because he knows it’s a diagnosis where there isn’t much that can be done about it…I sort of shrugged and said I’ve been dealing with stuff like this for over ten years with my endo, adeno, and ovaries….I might as well have a name to go with what I feel.
I had some blood work done and we’ll find out the results soon. I had the HLA-B27 antigen tested along with some other innflamation markers. We’ll see what comes of it.
The doctor wants me to try Lyrica for the Fibromyalgia, but we’re not sure we can get insurance to cover it, and I get a bit nervous with new medications and possible side effects. I wish I could just treat it naturally somehow.
