Saw my GP about the rejected Gyno referral which said my hormonal issues are likely perimenopause & recommended HRT so have a trial of that.
I also picked up my referral letter for rheumatology (as medical evidence for PIP & DSA) & it says #fibro. The GP has basically said "pretty sure it's fibro, please confirm."
I've been crying in a coffee shop with my beautiful girlfriend. It's a lot to process & I was kinda hanging onto it being #LongCovid as there is at least a chance that might improve.
@alexisbushnell Never give up. There's so much the doctors don't understand, especially when it comes to #LongCovid, I've come to the conclusion that in many cases I can make a better diagnosis for myself than the doctors can.
And often it's hope that sees you through, regardless of diagnosis.
@AngharadHafod unfortunately I agree that it's more likely fibro. I tick all the fibro boxes and fewer of the Long Covid ones.
I'm going to push for further investigation in case it is autoimmune as my BFF (a chronically ill nurse) thinks it could also be PsA or hEDS and those are often misdiagnosed as fibro.
p.s. hope you got home safe and successfully made it to church on Sunday!
