Hi @dlydia I appreciate your input. How did your gallbladder appointment go? My primary care doctor diagnosed me with Fibro a long time ago, but I've never felt like it was accurate based on my symptoms, but I totally understand why she did, and I'm not ruling it out. For one, my pains typically start and stay in the same place (several key points throughout my body, but always the same spots). In my eyes, the diagnosis was divergence insufficiency, and I was told it was neurological, there's no physical reason they could find. Even had an MRI, so not even sure what caused it.
Another reason I don't suspect Fibro is that I get positive ANA high values (1:640 back in 2013 when this started, 1:80 back in 2020 but it was well after my episode ended, and 1:320 today). I know ANA is not always accurate, but it does go up for me when I'm going through an episode. My rhemy from 2013 thought I had lupus, because my back felt like it was on fire when I was walk out into the sunlight (with a long sleeve shirt on), among my many other symptoms and ANA positivity. But he wouldn't diagnose me with it formally. My most recent symptoms are so much more aligned with MS than Lupus. The only other odd bloodtest result is my iron supplies being nearly out of range (1 point from minimum). I just bought the most extensive liver and gallbladder tests I could find, and all was in range. But I will still discuss with my gastro. My CRP value was actually 0.6, which made me happy, because I was really concered these pains were cardiovascular, due to them throbbing with my heart rate and being in my chest, neck, and head. Score 1 win, I'll take it.
