HI Rina!
I can't put my finger on an exact day. I started feeling very tired all the time and had achiness for over a year. But I have so many other health issues that I kept putting the achiness on the back burner. Then finally this past Feb. I was hurting SO bad that I saw my reg. dr. and told him about it. He thought I was depressed! So he put me on Cymbalta, and that caused major stomach burning so I saw him again a few days later......in tears! I'm sure he thought I really was depressed when he walked in the exam room and I was sitting there bawling like a baby! But I was hurting! He said I needed to see a specialist so I made an appt with a Rheumatologist.....and he's the greatest! He did MANY tests and blood workups and then the nerve/muscle biopsy and diagnosed my Chronic Axonal Neuropathy.
I wish I could put my finger on an exact date and time it started. I've always wondered when it really started.
