OCD/Anxiety
Depression
Nothing

I didn't believe any of these diagnoses. I knew that I had psycological problems, but I knew that they were not causing me to be so sick.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Possible Congestive Heart Failure (due to air hunger)

I asked repeatedly for a Lyme test to be refused by Specialists as

You don't have Lyme. We don't have that in Louisiana.

Hugs,

I was dx with :

OLD AGE(thats what the ducks said)

Most miraculous dx:

Fibromyalgia(duck hadnt even TOUCHED me yet!!)

Said anyone with THAT many complaints HAD to be one.

Some form of early onset whole body osteo arthritis,,never could find THAT name on the puter!!(you know what that means)

Terminal heart failure,,,complete blocked artery,,part of heart DIED.(I have always been told I had NO heart anyway!!)

Osteo arthris,,,told dont worry THIS doesnt spread,,its wear and tear cause you worked too hard!!(AND it did SPREAD)(imagine THAT)

Wouldnt you think an arthritis specality place would recognize reactive arthritis when they see it?? Thats the hardest one to understand!!

AND an ortho doc that did scope surgery(elbow bending probs) and by x-ray nothing wrong,,,by scope when got in there,,,the biggest mess he EVER saw?? would that be a clue for the average doc??

And my local pcp,,,cant be lyme sent in the test you ask for,,,negative,,your nuts,,,Doc where did you send the test?? Dunno,,,ask the girls??

And gerd,,,wear this hose in the nose for a day to prove,,,take these pills 4X normal dose,,,does no good,,,can this be real??

Things they havent figured out YET,,,allergic to electric motors,,,yes I SAID that,,,have to experience that to believe it!! And NO,,, cell towers dont set me off!!

But riding in a vehicle sure does whether slow or fast moving.Motion,, OR electric fields inside,,,take your choice!!(BTW,,,eatting sunflower seeds or chewing gum helps,,,go figure!!)

getting your ducks in a row,,,major problem for ME!!!being--just don--

And non-medical "diagnoses"

don't want to care for kids
don't want to be a good wife
don't want to cook
don't want to keep house

Fibromyalgia-even though I had no "tender points"
"getting old" at age 30
depression (even though I'm not)
-all the above diagnosed by my 1st neurologist

arthritis-even though neg. RH factor, no evidence on xrays, no swelling
TMJ
migraines

I figured it out myself within a year and was persistent about researching and getting the right tests. Don't know where I would be

without the vast amount of information on the internet-probably still at the mercy of the ducks.
