Just a little update on a diagnosis.

Thank you to all the people that posted to my last post, I am posting again as have had a bit of an update. I got referred to a pain clinic which I thought would be a complete waste of time as was sent to one a couple of years ago and they were no help. Anyway went to this appointment and he didn't fob me off or try to make me feel like I was mad and imagining all these horrible debilitating symptoms and excruciating pain. He wants me back on steroids indefinitely and he believes my immune system is pretty much attacking most of body and organs which is causing me to be so ill and wants me to see an Immunologist. He said he couldn't give me a steroid shot there and then as it was too wide spread and have to wait a week for doc to get his letter so she can prescribe the steroids and refer me. So not a diagnosis but hopefully an avenue which may have a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't want to jinx it or get my hopes up just for them to be dashed but feeling a little hope right now and wanted to share.

It does make a difference when someone listens and tries to make a difference. We all have enough to cope with without feeling like everything is a battle. I am really pleased for you.
