It takes me days after an appointment to be rested up especially with my chronic fatigue.

After a few months of appointments I quickly reach the point where I am so sick of them and I stop wanting to even answer my phone let alone go to appointments and go through the hoops of anything and everything medical. A short lifetime of constant appointments at least weekly since I was 13 and now being 29 I Have to plan rewards after my appointments or I don't even want to go in the waiting rooms. Now that I am older I purposely take weeks off of appointments though I prefer months off not that I ever get a full month off *sigh*

Anyone else get sick of appointments too?

If I have an appointment with a terrible doctor( even a lifetime of Dr appointments and I have only had 10 good ones from cardiologists to pain doctors to primary care physicians) my quota reaches my limit super fast. My psychosis was started and keeps happening with anything to do with bad doctors.

It is based on feeling I have no control in my life and rarely ever have. Being unable to live on my own, have a job, or even drive has significantly worsened my psychosis.

Though I have found that doing artistic things helps me feel more in control and makes me happy yo be who I am.

Oh how little health people know about the lives we live!

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Faith316. I'm here because I have been researching and found so much amazing information here. I had to diagnose myself because the Doctors have not even mentioned the possibility that the endometriosis that resulted in a total hysterectomy 22 years ago could be the cause of ALL of my symptoms!My pain is constant most days and I'm so tired and feel most comfortable lying down with a microwavable heating pad.today is my birthday. I'm 69 today. I have hope that tomorrow I can insist that my GI Dr will call me in sooner for another appointment and truly listen to my concerns. I pray that I can have relief from this excruciating pain, the recurring asthma, the fatigue and brain fog. Thank you for being here!!!

Exhaustion fbro # asthma #Arthritis polymyalgia rheumatica #Migraine

Earlier this week, I awoke with boundless energy (this never happens!) so I made a big pot of soup, a batch of buns, and an applesauce cake. By the time I was finished cleaning up and bagging buns, I was exhausted. I can’t seem to dig up any more energy. However, payroll had to be done, and grocery shopping was a must. I feel like I’ve been dragged through a knothole backwards and dropped on my head. There’s no option but to rest.
