Suffering when test results say nothings wrong.


Fri, July 17, 2015 7:57 PM

I have been dealing with so much pain and discomfort for months now with no relief. I have had CT scans lab test you name it and they have all come back "ok" but my syptoms are real. Im just writing because I am getting frustrated because nothing is helping and I feel like no one is taking me serious. It is leading me to feel as if they think it is all in my mind.

You are welcome. Anytime. Just remember the people that think it's all in your head, let them know they are absolutely right. Your brain runs every function in your body, lol. Sorry, I'm only making it, because I choose to deal with this with humor. Follow your instincts. You and only you know your suffering. I had to change my GI Doctor, recently. And I am changing to a 3 rd one in October. The last two have now permanently destroyed part of my kidneys, due to this med ,that med. I refuse to give up. Someone out there will figure us out. I spend most of my time reserching my body. At least I am informed with everything they throw at me. A piece of advice, always get your patient portal information from every Dr. You see. You can go online, tech support is always available to help you if you can't figure it out. But,it gives you access to everything they have done,blood test, procedures, office notes. It really helps to see what they've done, or want to do. It'll give you time to look it up and figure out what's going on. Then you take back the control, to make a well informed dession for you. Your body, your choice. Always research through more than 1 facility, like, Mayo clinic, Web MD,Fda.org, NHIH. Hopefully ,some of this helps. If not at least you can't say you didn't try. Smile, love yourself, you have value and a purpose. We all do.

I am with you on this one. I was doing so well and then I came into a bad flare. All my tests are neg. And I have so much pain and spasms in my lower right side. All I get is I don&#39;t know what to do and you don&#39;t have pain. I am also getting frustrated.<br />
