I finally had my doctor appointment today... I don't really know what to say. After waiting 2 months to finally get in... I have a list of symptoms at least a page long.... The diagnosis is.... drum roll please........... Stress.... The doctor says I'm stressed and THATS why I feel like roadkill... Really!?! I waited 2 months to hear I'm stressed? My cycles are irregular, my hair is falling out, my muscles are sore and fatigued, I'm tired all the time, I have brain fog, insomnia, and so on and so forth. I could go on and on.
My thyroid levels and whatever else the doctor tested were apparently fine. I was so upset.. and I still am. I'm stressed.... Whatever. Today was such a waste of time.
The doctor put me on a medication that is supposed to help. I'll try it. I'll try anything. I just want to feel better. I think the me being stressed is a load of crap.

Do you feel unusually angry, worried or under some sort of pressure? I mean other than your health. I know that stress can be hard on your body but I wonder to if that is just an easy diagnosis if none of the obvious things came up. Can you get an second opinion? I hope it isn't one of those new designer drugs you see advertised on TV that he perscribed, usually you see them advertised a while and then the lawyer ads come out, "if you have taken this drug contact me for a class action lawsuit." Sorry, that probable not helping your stress.

Don't give up on finding out what is really going on. Go see another doctor. Find a specialist if you have to. You know your body better than anyone else. Have you ever seen the show 'Mystery Diagnosis'? I think it might give you some encouragement to know that you are not alone.
