I met my rheumatologist, and he is great.
I didn't really realize what a mess my medical history was until he
Was going through it with me.
After much head shaking and a bit of humor,
My symptoms are lining up with a diagnosis from 17 years ago of graves disease.
Having no thyroid gland, and the graves antibodies still active have more than likely
Caused a positive ana test and could very well be the reason for my joints to be
Deteriorating.
I'll be getting tested again the 3rd of July,
See the rheumatologist, July 12,
And my surgeon, July 13.
I also got a firm diagnosis of fibromyalgia, every fibro point was flaring yesterday.
I was diagnosed with fibro 16 years ago, but not treated in any way for it, so doctor put me
On cymbalta.
So,
That's that.
