Someone listened to me!

I’ve just got back from an appointment with a rheumatologist. He strongly believes I have fibromyalgia. He said he’d get an mri done to rule out arthritis for sure, then will be referring me to the pain management team. I feel overwhelmed, mainly due to someone taking me seriously.

I also suffer with what professionals think could be borderline personality disorder... both conditions are feeding each other I think. So I have hyper-sensitive nervous system, hyper -sensitive senses and hyper-sensitive emotions and I’m a mixed bag of invisible illnesses.

I feel hurt and angry at how much of a battle I’ve faced for the past 19 years and more so in the past 7 because I just wasn’t taken seriously. I’m 35 now and hoping I can move forward with the right support

Thanks for listening

It's great to find someone who will take you seriously and take time to listen and examine you

I must admit I was expecting the usual ‘you’re too young to have arthritis you must be ok’ but was pleasantly surprised at how thoroughly he questioned and examined me 🙂
