I have to go have the 9 hour testing in two weeks. What should I expect? I am so worked up about it because of the anticipation of the test. It is hard because I have tried to "hide" my symptoms from family and friends so to appear normal. It is very exhausting.

She would not tell me anything. She said more testing is necessary and she has to go through all my medical records and everything before she gives her opinion. She seemed like she really knew what she was doing though and will be able to recommend the best treatment plan for me. I am hopeful. Very tired though. She also said she could tell I was really giving it my best effort and that will help a lot in finding the correct diagnosis and treatment for me. These people are really smart. I think she will be able to tell exactly what is going on with me. She at least understood far more than any doctor I have been to so far.
I am grateful. She was sensitive to the fact that I am in pain also.
Well, just wanted to tell you how it went. Their tests suck as far as they should be so easy and yet were so hard. My last nerve is gone. I gotta go to bed. Much love to you all. Hope you all had a decent day. I will talk to you all tomorrow.
