I was surprised to see that I haven't posted since May of 2012. Not sure why that revelation is so shocking, considering the state of my health over the last eight months.
Fortunately, I finally received a diagnosis in October. Unforturnately, I officially have Fibromyalgia. Despite the diagnosis, I am relieved to have a name to put to the pain and fatigue that I have experienced over the last 9+ years. It's just a shame that I had to wait so long, in order to be bad enough, to finally have a clear picture of what I was dealing with.
I'm very grateful to my family doctor for sticking with me so long and believing that my symptoms were, in fact, real. She also did a tireless job in trying to find a specialist that would be able to help me.
At present, I am dealing with the after effects of complications from the flu. It has been over 3 weeks, yet I am still having a difficult time with a cough and runny nose. Then there is the fatigue...is my body just trying to heal from being sick so long or is it the Fibromyalgia. *shrug*
Otherwise, it seems that the medicinal treatment the rheumatoligist has recommend is helping tremendously.
Until tomorrow,
~Michelle~
