I’m sorry that you are having such a rough time. Not knowing what is wrong with you is torturous. Getting a diagnosis for me became a long and frustrating crusade. I know how hard it is to be living in a “normal” world when “normal” is the opposite of what you feel.

You’ve got to be strong. I don’t mean to sound preachy, but you have to self-advocate until you are satisfied with a diagnosis. Once you know what you have, you can rationally deal with the facts of the matter. Until then you are just guessing, and I think that is what makes it so frightening.

Luckily, you’ve found us. There are plenty of people here who are in the same boat. So stick around. We’re a pretty nice group, and you’ll be able to hear about others in the same position.

Hang in there. There are better days ahead.
