Hello all... just wanted to stop by I have been reading these posts and feel like.. wow this all sounds so firmiliar. I live in WA which for some reason has the highest MS rates in the nation. *shrugs* I have been to doctor after doctor for years and everything always gets blamed on stress and or anxiety disorder and according to doctors "nothing is ever wrong" however i have pretty much all of the top symptoms and then some. One time i went to the ER because I thought I was having a stroke but because of my history of anxiety that is automatically what it is in their mind. No one is listening to me and its horrible to live like this. I am missing sooo much work I most likely will be fired eventually but what can i do. I am so fatigued sometimes even when i have slept 8 hrs. I am lathargic and confused. I get vertigo spells.. and these strange episodes I like to call them. I have had bladder problems forever as well as "IBS" i have difficulty with all my muscles, weakness, twitching. Muscle on my face even twitch and its embarassing. I have GERD also and motility problems with swallowing yet when the upper GI was performed nothing was found. My immune system also SUCKS! i pretty much get anything and everything anyone has and i get it 10 x worse just lately my vision blurs and i went to a optometrist and he noticed my pupils are dialated larger than normal and take longer than normal to get back to normal..but.. oh everything is normal.
I feel crazy. My doctors make me feel crazy like i am making this all up! i just sick and tired of being sick and tired.
thanks for letting me vent. I have a follow up appt with my family doctor this week. I was referred to a neurologist that specializes in auto immune diseases so i am going to see if my family doc will write me a referral. Keeping my fingers crossed!
thanks for listening !
