I am currently in the process of TRYING to get a diagnosis from the doctor, I am awaiting a call back to update doc of my symptoms. I tick most of the boxes for this awful illness I'm in constant burning pain all over, shooting pains, really tired as don't sleep properly, stiffness all over, headaches and I also suffer with ibs!
I feel so low in myself and feel like no-one around me understands I'm just miserable. I do currently take gabapentin due to herniated discs causing nerve pain and duloxetine anti depressants.
Please could any of you advise on what I could say to doc when they ring me so I don't get fobbed off cos I feel I will cry.
I'm 39 and feel 89 🥺😪
