At a loss, multiple consultations still no answer...any idea?

For sure, it's just one of those things unfortunately. I'm remaining positive that a diagnosis is just around the corner.

I've not had one before, are they fairly quick? I'm somewhat concerned with the contrast dye, though I'm sure that'll be discussed prior to my appointment. The ECG showed inflammation so I've been prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs.

Yeah, mobility isn't a problem just the pain and fatigue is fairly consistent.

@change25 Unfortunately, fatigue is part of a lot off illness until they’re under control. I certainly hope that you get some answers soon.
I can honestly say that MRIs are not a problem for me now. They are loud, though! The technicians will ask if you get claustrophobic, since the MRI machine is a small space. The contrast can cause allergic reactions in some people, but the staff is prepared. The MRI of my head usually takes 45 minutes.
The ECG you’ve mentioned, was it of your heart? Did the doctor say anything about the inflammation?
