I haven't felt well for years, but it's much worse now. Please think good thoughts for me as I go see the nurse practitioner on Friday. I have to to talk with her and tell her I think my symptoms are not separate things that are easily attributed to something I've already been diagnosed with. I think they may all (or mostly) be tied together as one disease.
Where's Dr. House when ya need him?
Thanks!

(72,377 posts)sometimes not a good thing. Right now I'm fretting over MS and late stage Lyme, and of course the worrying doesn't help any.

(12,272 posts)Vibes so you get the help you need. In medicine, it tends to be what you describe. A group of symptoms can be indicative of one diagnosis. Make a list of your symptoms and the time that they occur to help your NP.

(39,343 posts)I had a bunch wrong with me and they took a week in the hospital running all manner of tests. They found a lot too. I was diagnosed with 2 forms of lupus and a neuromuscular connective tissue disease. I just waited till I was really bad off and had an ambulance take me to the ER.... enough about me
I hope you get your problems diagnosed so you can start to feel better.

(39,343 posts)I got a jump start on mega doses of steroids in the hospital. Now I'm on 40mgs of prednisone and an anti-malarial for my lupus. In March I couldn't stand from a chair or get out of bed due to my leg muscles wasting away. Now I'm walking around shopping and getting around without even using my cane.
Get checked out and get on the meds.
