In the past 3 years I had seen numerous doctors, each giving me ‘meds’ for either my pain, headache/migraines, swelling and depression. I was also sent to another who gave me injections for my pain, which usually presented itself in my joints. (legs, hips, arm, elbow, foot, neck and back).
I had always been quite athletic and outdoorsy kind of person. Hunting, fishing, camping, gardening, 4 wheeling and that sort of thing.
But 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus. It was rather difficult and the depression set in. I considered myself; strong, intelligent, athletic, and all around ‘normal’, so when depression set in, I was really surprised that my whole attitude changed.
Monday, August 31, 2009 will forever be en-grained in my mind.
I had my appointment with a rheumatoid specialist for the results on my blood work up.
It was that day I diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia.
