Hi everyone. I've been coming here for quite awhile to lurk and read but I haven't actually bothered posting anything til today, looks like. I realize how silly that is of me, to not participate in any of the discussions.
Anyway, I'm a woman in my mid-20s with an annoyingly large amount of chronic physical and mental health conditions, and am having the usual difficulties of getting my doctors to do anything but insist it's the *other* doctor's problem.
(Rheumatologist: Well, *obviously* you're in more pain now because you're extra depressed, talk to your psychiatrist and get a THIRD antidepressant...no, I don't care that you clearly have autoimmunity in your blood because I don't see any rheumatoid factor... Psychiatrist: Well, *obviously* it's because of those cysts on your ovaries screwing with your hormones, go to your endocrinologist. Endocrinologist: It's got to be that arthritis and fibromyalgia, your thyroid is "fine" -- you need to make an appointment with your rheumatologist...ad infinitum)
When I joined, I didn't have insurance because I was still a student. Now I do, I take 11 RX meds daily and my quality of life is still complete crap and is taking a nosedive. It's like all this stuff isn't doing anything, like nobody's gotten to the root of the problem.
So, here I am, trying to explore some options my doctors don't seem to think are feasible.
Thanks for reading!

Those were by and far the best teams this season. That Elite D will just stifle mofos. And ya gotta give Darnold his flowers for taking care of the football. That was professional.
