Rheumy day is over...the good news and the bad news!
Well, I am happy to say that my hip is not a bone issue but a muscle/ligament issue. Yah? I am not really sure how to feel about it yet. It hasn't sunk in.
Okay here is the bad news, I told the doctor that I still didn't feel right, that a part of me was telling me that there is something else going on. Again, the guy read my mind and he asked me if I was thinking of Lupus. I said yes. I told him since we found by chance that I have the Parvo B19 anti-virus, maybe we would find something else that has been missed all this time. So, he ordered the normal CBC panel as well as the Lupus panel of bloodwork to be done.
I don't know how long it takes for the results to come back, but I am already edgy about them. Part of me wants to have a negative reading and I don't have Lupus. But there is a small part of me that wants an answer and if that answer if Lupus then that is the answer. I am tired of having all this physical stuff happening to me and doctor's just chalking it up to the Fibromyalgia, when inside I know it must be something more.
A long time ago, someone told me to listen to that little voice inside me if you felt like something wasn't quite right and that is what I feel. I hear that little voice saying there is more to this than just the Fibromyalgia, they just haven't run the right test or asked the right questions yet. I have trusted this voice many times in my life and that is how I found the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia and my husband to boot! So now I am listening again and Lupus seems to keep knawing at my insides and won't let go. That little niggle, I call it, keeps tickling my insides and not letting me rest until I find the absolutes of all this. I may never find the final answer to all my problems, but I trust my instincts on this one. I have to.....I have no one else to trust when it comes to stuff like this. My husband will say I worry too much and no one else around me understands. Only you out there in cyber world understands what it means to have that unfinished feeling.
Well, that is the update for today. I hope I didn't depress to many of you.
