I wish doctors were empaths so they felt the symptoms and discomfort of their patients as soon as the door was closed. (and it went away again once the patient left of course - wouldn't wish this monster on anyone)

I actually began to believe it was all in my head when the first two doctors called it depression and told me to take paracetamol for the pain.
I've suffered with depression on and off for years but the tiredness itself was different and I'd never suffered pain all over my body....I knew something was wrong and it must have been 3rd time lucky as the doctor I now see ordered blood tests (all normal obviously) and a referral to the sleep clinic but diagnosed Fibro before the sleep study.
She didn't fob me off with 'take paracetamol' and I am now waiting for an appointment with the rheumatologist and the results of the sleep study - which has been indicated on the discharge form that I also have OSAHS.
I have been lucky to get to get a diagnosis so quickly, (although a year is still a long time when you're trying to live your life as best you can through such a nightmare) as trying to get a doctor/specialist to actually look deeper than the obvious reasons is bloody hard work .

It is frustrating (but also good news), when all your tests come normal but you know there is something wrong. Such is the weird nature of this illness.
Best of luck.

I must say I have grown pretty addicted to this forum. It is amazing how many threads I read and then have to check whose written it because the mirror image of symptoms and situations are remarkable and for a split second I think 'I don't remember writing that' lol with fibro fog this is quite feesable
Anyway, the love and support on this site are absolutely amazing - Thanks guys
