It's a shame that going from doctor to doctor is such a common experience for people with chronic illness.alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965588211524276512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962097063569112990.post-15236095957269630612009-06-07T01:04:07.324-05:002009-06-07T01:04:07.324-05:00Hi!

Altho I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, my road to diagnosis was similarly long and fraught with disaster.<br /><br />I got a diagnosis in 2000, after being ill three years. But that didn't even help sometimes as there were docs telling me that all I needed was a shrink. I finally got my various ailments all sorted out and had a good course of treatment going, but then I had to move to another state in 2006, and my new docs were telling me that I could be cured with exercise!<br /><br />I agree that spreading the word is one of the best things we can do. If more people know of someone who has this type of chronic illness, perhaps there will be more incentive to do proper research. And maybe more docs will take us seriously.<br /><br />BTW, I blog too. <br />http://browserlife.blogspot.com/klbrowserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969885665210889638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962097063569112990.post-64126833671390467172009-06-04T02:39:20.494-05:002009-06-04T02:39:20.494-05:00Hi Alyson, Good to find your blog.

I had a similar experience with getting diagnosed, especially since I had previously suffered from depression and anxiety. <br /><br />There are doctors out there with an open mind and I have been lucky enough to find a couple, but only after years of struggling with a 'mystery' illness.<br /><br />Keep banging the gong and attitudes will change eventually.Dusty Bogwranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.com
