I have been diagnosed since February 8th this year. I was sick for a very long time. My story is very similar to those I have read. Months upon months of being sick and going undiagnosed until it is nearly to late. I had no BP and no pulse that the Dr. and nurses could find at my first appt. with a specialist so they called an ambulance to take me to the ER. I spent 3 days in the hospital which isn't long given how sick I was and for how long. I was in crisis and had started to vomit at that time. The Endo. I saw did diagnose me before the ambulance took me away so once in the ER they made quick of fixing me up. I was in the ER for 8 hours. I am so grateful to be feeling better and know that I do not have Firbromyaligia (I never belived I did) nor am I crazy. I really was sick. I feel good now although I tire more quickly than I used to.

I am looking forward to reading the board and learning from others experiences. Making frieds. I feel kind of alone sometimes which I assume is quite normal. I have much family and we are close but no one with this disease that I can relate to and that is the lonely part.
