Hey guys, just another update..

Went to see the doctor monday and she has determined ME but cannot diagnose yet, as I have to be reacouring my symptoms for at least 6+ months.. but according my records she went through, I went in October last year with the same symptoms.. so they did my first lot of blood on the weds, to check thiriod, vit d, B12, iron and diabetes.. so I saw my doc on the mon, explained I was feeling really shitty, muscle aches, joint pain, stiff neck, constant fatigue, always thirsty.. blah blah.. the list goes on.. she gave me 500mg naproxen to help with my constant shite, they're doing sweet FA by the way.. if anything I feel worse 😟 so she sent me for more bloods, i was tested again today for.. arthritis, HIV and rheumatoid arthritis, it was so quite in the little room I was in I could hear the blood draining into the little vile.. I was nearly on the floor I had to lye down, I was so embarrised πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I should get my results back by we'd next week.. what a day to have a blood test done Friday the bloody 13th πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ..

But hopefully I'm getting somewhere with this constant ball ache.. how's everyone fri day the 13th going? I hope it's better than mine πŸ˜›

Hi Rebecca, how are you tolerating the Naproxen? so sorry to hear that you are still in the dark as to what is causing you all this distress. Don"t give up, as I say so often to myself the only way is up, when we feel so down. you are not on your own we are all here for you, take heart from that, and know that I am thinking of you. Smile and wave, smile and wave xxxx
