Long list of symptoms - what is your take on them?

[Lara4228]

Hello

The other night I kept getting searing pains down my front right thigh. Feeling fed up with all the various oddities of pains, feelings I found a checklist for Lymes Disease. Wow! I have about 80% of them. Doc gave blood work for lymes (I have inkling that it isnt - sometimes your gut feeling is right)

This list came canlyme website and it says that often the symptoms for lymes disease and ms are the same. I havent been diagnised with sle, at this point just dle. I go to the lupus clinic on Nov. 30. All I want are some answers. Something is definitely wrong in my body and each passing week it gets worse.

Anyway here are my symptoms:

Have u asked about fibromyalgia some a lot of symptoms looked like that but I'm not a dr and sometimes it takes ages going round each consultant. But u need to b strong. Perhaps a journal would help u and also u can refer to it for Drs too

I asked and suggested that back in March with the internal medicine specialist. He said I didnt have it, rather he told me I had chronic pain syndrome.

I disagreed quietly to myself

Hi there, sounds like you are experiencing a suffering time. Lots of symptoms there which could potentially fit in with a myriad of health conditions. Sometimes when there are so many things challenging the body it can be helpful to focus on those parts of the body that are working well, or not causing any problems, just to give yourself a break from all the stress and negativity an illness can bring. Easier said than done I know. I wish you well and hope you get to the bottom of things. Bright blessings X

Yes, my traveling inflammation causes many of these also. I too have no diagnoses just blood tests that shoe inflammation for last couple years. Suspected auto immune is all they say.

Hello yes I have many of those symptoms. Diagnosed with fibro but I also believe it's caused by inflammation in my body. My symptoms escalated after spinal surgery. I have intense itching at times which drives me crazy. I hope you get a diagnosis soon.

Hello,

I am sorry to hear that you are having all these symptoms.

It is good to hear that you have an appointment for 30th November though and they will be able to start running the various tests needed so you can have a clearer diagnosis.

Let us know how you get on and getting a diagnosis should be the first step in hopefully finding relief for your various symptoms.
