I also have many symptoms that flipped like a switch. I have severe pain, muscle and joint tears, compression fractures, severe spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis, sleep disturbances, my body gets worn out and I black out. I fall all the time. My skin had awful large scar areas. SICCA syndrome with fatigue so bad I can’t get out of bed. Drs think I want pills. They don’t want to continue tests or send me to the Mayo Clinic. I have been yelled at and said idk what else to do do you. One dr finally cried with me when she saw me. I have skin mottling, scars, dysautonomia and nobody cares. She said I had been done a disservice. They are not let me make an appointment with her because my biopsy was negative for SFN. I have had COVID 5 times and I can get no help. It’s like they want to see you in pain or they leave it up to another specialist. I practiced rural health family practice medicine as a CRNP. I need daily steroids and medication strong enough to crush this pain then back down. Is anyone left out there that cares???? Just wondering. A med student laughed at me when I told her I had daily pain and had even tried CBD. I want to sit down and have school all the time. One Dr told me he could see my epiglottis working fine.

I’m sorry. I feel like nobody cares. My own family left me and said everyone hurts and I was lying about the pain, mind, blacking out, and not remembering. I had a Dr tell me he read my chart from the last couple yrs and he didn’t want to mess with all I had going on and then charged me almost $400.
