You have no idea how thankful I feel right now reading everything posted here. Could it be that I am not going crazy after all? I am 45 and was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity over 10 years ago (always had "stomach problems" since I was a child). About 3 years ago I began to have weird symptoms which became worse over time- really bad joint pain (some days it is hard just to get out of bed), sever fatigue (I am usually extremely energetic and always on the run), difficulty concentrating, definitely brain fog, bumps on my head (just under the skin), small pimple-like breakouts which come and go, scaly rash-like skin on my face also comes and goes otherwise my skin is clear, I get depressed- but I have been associating it with the difficulty of dealing with the pain and helplessness of the "days of fatigue" when all I can do is sit, rest and pray that I get better ASAP. Most recently have been having really bad tingling down my arms- it feels like a pain that shoots from the middle of my back and radiates out. Doctors (3 rheumatologists)couldn't tell me anything definitive- maybe fybromyalgia, maybe lupus. One MRI of brain showed a "UBO" (unidentified bright object) which I had never even heard of. Will ask for MRI of spine (after reading notes above). After 13 years of exceeding goals at work (always high reviews and several promotions)- I had to take a medical leave from my high level job (I just couldn't keep up- especially with the fatigue and mental fog). They denied my leave and I didn't get paid because they said I did not have a definitive diagnosis, just the symptoms which I had been reporting to my doctor for over 1 year. I was devastated and decided not to return to my job (I was unable to perform at the same level- and maybe it was the depression, fear and/or my pride but I didn't want to let my work performance deteriorate even more). During the past 2 years the symptoms have continued and I have just tried eating well and exercising on the days I don't have too much pain. Just went for some bloodwork and was told my Vit D is still low (was 14, now 27) and I have low B again (have had shots in the past). Reading your comments helps me realize that I cannot give up just because I feel powerless- and will continue to focus on being my own advocate for living as healthy as possible. Thank you!
