[Anacrusis]

Hello!

I´m hopping over from MG support group with a question on effects of misdiagnosis on mental equilibrium.

Basically...How long can it possibly take to get over something?!

Cut a long story short:
4 years of progressive ill health, quality of life severely reduced. No support from anyone and just in a tumble dryer of diagnoses one after another. And each time tried to graciously accept the´new´disease profile thrown on me.
In the end no one believed it was anything other than psychosomatic. I thought it was my fault because I didn´t have a strong enough mind to get rid of the symptoms.

This last year despite quite a few normal stress events in my life I am functioning much better, I have been proactive and working on strategies to get out of any problem I might be in. Suddenly...Now... 3 neurologists, a psychologist, a physiotherapist and a new doctor all believe me after the fact and even without positive tests.

Although things are better lately and things are really going my way, I think I downplayed the importance of what happened during those four years and kept thinking the doctor would eventually come round, he would eventually see and get it and this led to some mistakes luckily not serious but still I didn´t see the signs and change to a new doctor who actually believed me.

Am now wondering if perhaps I´m still well kind of traumatized even though you´re supposed to be glad your health is not in the previous state it was in.

How long can this take?!! Any tips please?

Thanks much....
