I'm having a bad time of things at the moment, and if anyone can help me I'd be very grateful. Even just a hand hold as I feel like a fraud.
I'm under the care of the doctor because of the following (gradual onset)
Severe joint pains
Joint aches
Upper back pain
Headaches
Utter overwhelming exhaustion.
I've put on a fair bit of weight in the last year. But a lot of that is because I cannot exercise.
I also feel like I have a virus coming. I'm cold and shivery though no obvious temperature.
Doctors have taken blood tests which show negative/normal for everything. Though my rheumatoid factor is borderline (whatever that means)
I've had ovaries checked by ultrasound, internal scans and blood tests.
I've been tested for coeliacs as it runs in the family.
I am seeing a rheumatologist soon. If that is negative or borderline with no 'cure' I cannot see what I can do next!
I have a full time job, married with young children. I work full time. I am under 40, but feel over 70.
Thank you for letting me get this off my chest, I moan to DH so much I'd just like somewhere else to vent!
I'll be back later, I have a rare hour to myself (off work) and I'm going to get some kip!
