Hello!
I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I think it might be right around the corner. I’m waiting on some bloodwork and my follow up is on Dec 1st.
In 2017 I started feeling extremely run down and my hands hurt so much I couldn’t hold a pencil. My primary doc referred me to a rheumatologist and ever since I’ve been on a boat load of medications to treat random symptoms as they’ve came up.
The last time I went to the rheumatologist and told her that my lower legs were becoming weak, and I was having constant nerve pain. She threw up her hands and said she didn’t know what to tell me. That was when I could feel that she was thinking I was crazy.
Finally after a routine physical my doc referred me to a neurologist and I started seeing them at the end of October. Her first impression of my symptoms was MS but the MRIs didn’t prove that so now she’s testing me for MG. Monday I had an EEG and bloodwork and now I’m waiting but still degrading.
Now both eyes are barely opening. I’m physically incapable of walking even with assistance more than a few steps. I’m exhausted. My voice dissolves Into raspy whispers after a few seconds of talking. I have continuous nerve pain in my lower legs.
I’m definitely not crazy, at least not for this.
How did you get through the wait for results?
