I just had a carotid doppler and a thyroid sonogram again so we'll see if the Dr. can figure anything out! Good Luck, I'll be following your SAGA!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789771813085439307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-37737062926266618532010-03-20T03:15:55.525-07:002010-03-20T03:15:55.525-07:00Wow....

I've had numerous tests, all come back negative, but I've lost out on much sleep over the anxiety and physical symptoms no one seems to have a satisfactory answer for. I'll be following you on here, because I've never had such an 'illness' (I'm wondering if it's just depression, but it started abruptly after that shot) but I'm in the process of moving to San Diego to see if a relocation to a sunnier place and therapy will help me. Currently dealling with deep fatigue too, only I can't sleep during the day, if I get 6 hours a night, it's very good. We'll see...Christyhttp://myspace.com/invictasartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-44452389268547115562010-03-16T19:25:05.299-07:002010-03-16T19:25:05.299-07:00As you know, I battle with this question myself. ...As you know, I battle with this question myself. My only advice is to consider what limitations you have and how another dx may improve things. Will another test, doctor, practitioner help your quality of life and your personal safety? Can one of your existing diagnoses account for some of your symptoms? Is there some new treatment(s) you can try based on what you already know? Are your doctors/practitioners concerned for your safety with or without treatment? That's what I ask myself.<br /><br />Many **hugs** No matter what, please take it easy on yourself.queenofoptimismhttp://www.medicalpuzzle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-63677501105498026802010-03-16T19:11:47.747-07:002010-03-16T19:11:47.747-07:00Agreed.

Doing something fun and entertaining to get your mind off of your troubles would be a good change. Planning your weeks around doctor visits is very time consuming and if all are mostly negative then maybe doing something nice will take your mind off of these issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-28228627396025352922010-03-16T07:40:12.087-07:002010-03-16T07:40:12.087-07:00I say this knowing I really cannot fathom anything...I say this knowing I really cannot fathom anything you're going through and how incredibly frustrating, exhausting, inconvenient and painful it is/has been. But I think I would vote for giving up the testing for a while and concentrating (to the extent you can given everything) on something you love to do - in my case it would be writing poetry and doing a lot of reading, but whatever you love to do and find pleasantly distracting and rewarding. After all you've been through, you deserve a break from the poking and prodding!Lori S. Kaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544386885935333980noreply@blogger.com
