@cdhouns I can't imagine the pain you are going though but I can empathize as i have the same issue with my autoimmune disease. My prayers are with you but unfortunately the healthcare system is what it is.

I never would have thought in my worst nightmare that our medical system would be this disconnected from people who have these symptoms that they really have no idea what to do but to either label it all these symptoms as anxiety or they send you off to doctors at the Mayo clinic when they fully know there's over a 1-year waiting list as if we can suffer another one full year waiting for some kind of help. I never ever thought that how advanced America seemed to be in my mind that it's so falling short when it regards to medical care and trying to get a diagnosis without waiting 10 years. And then when they finally do diagnose you they say well it's too late the disease is progressed too far you should have come sooner. How can you come sooner when it takes 6 months to get in as a first time patient to see a specialist and then every test is space 3 or 4 weeks apart and then when they can't figure it out they refer you to somebody else and that's another 6 months wait as a first time patient to get in to see that doctor, and then they can't figure it out so they refer you to Mayo clinic and that's a 1-year wait. By the time you finally find out what's wrong with you it could be too far advanced. This is just unbelievable that I'm talking about America regarding this matter.
