@runwthme You're right, there are situations where it seems to take forever to narrow down a diagnosis. I have found that the right tests need to be done, the results interpreted correctly, the successive diagnostic procedures done, to get to the correct ending. Frustrating, especially when we are the patient, enduring daily battles with our body and the conditions raising their heads! Back in 1988 it was a forever-battle, as they narrowed down my symptoms over the course of 8 months, finally diagnosing me with Systemic Lupus. While it was a relief to have a name for my symptoms, and I was appreciative to the doctors being careful, it made my daily struggles a challenge.
All I can say, is to have medical professionals that you have faith in, and keep advocating for yourself. Please let me know how you are doing today?
