Hello
I am very new, I have been researching all over the internet to try to figure out whats wrong with me. I started at webmd, symptom checker. Ive been to the doctor 3 times in two weeks. I have read most of the information on fibromyalgia and cfs. my doctor checked blood for meningitis and ran flu test. I had a virus last week, fever, nausea, etc. but this week I hurt everywhere and Im so tired and weak. I have read the symptoms and I see so much of myself over the past couple of years. I deliver mail which is a rough job and it takes all I have to get through my day. I have 2 boys, I work 6 days a week, I started a new business, my marriage has been very stressful. I thought maybe I was overloaded and my body needed rest. But when I put all of these ailments together, it makes me wonder. I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder 11 months ago and have been on meds for that and depression. I had a "breakdown" after a friend lost her son to suicide and was out of work for a month. Ive been in pain, emotional, and physical for almost a year, but I chalk it up to working so much and trying to do too much in a day. I keep my stress inside, I keep my feelings inside, I dont want to complain. But this week has been the worst I have felt in my life and I am having a hard time even sitting here. I have pain all over but mostly my hips and neck and Ive had a headache for over 2 weeks. Is this all in my head? Am I just glad to have found something that sounds right? My family doctor hasnt mentioned cfs or fibro. Can anyone help me? I need to get back to work but I dont have the energy or strength to get in the shower. I am a "go go go" person, this sudden, abrupt stop has me very frustrated. Yesterday my doc said "sever viral infection".. but all she gave me was pain meds for the body pain and its not helping much. Do I wait this out or mention it tomorrow at my appointment? thank you for any words of advice Sandi
