I am a 44 yr old mother of four, married 23 yrs. I work full time outside the home. I have been a member here for about a year, I have visited many times reading forums as I was experiencing unexplainable yet severe issues with my vision, muscles, heart, joints and a list of other things that my gp always ended up attributing to stress. I have a brother with Lupus and several aunts as well as my mother have thyroid issues, so I have been looking in several different directions.
Well this last attack that have had I feeling like I am on the back side of after about 2 months has taking away more vision in my left eye as well other muscle problems around my eye. I have finally found a doctor, she is a gyn/endocrinologist and is the first doctor to ask for records from my gp, internist, cardio, eye doctor and even my chiro (I think she wants records from him because I count on him so much and he records all my complaints (the things that seemed weird to me) in his chart. I am hoping she will take this full circle and help me get to the bottom of this once and for all. I feel like I am going crazy sometimes....
Anyway, in the past I have never pursued these attacks and often just got through the days and weeks the best I could, trying to pretend like I am ok, not complaining just taking lots of over-the-counter meds to try to deal with it. I am the "yes" mom/woman, so accepting that something may be wrong has been very difficult for me but I have come to the realization with this last attack that I can no longer deal with this the way I have been, it is time to get answers as I have been very restricted in what I can even do. I have never been so scared in my life, I pray for comfort and guidance and that's all I can do for now. I am ready to accept and deal with whatever comes my way........for I am strong with GOD by my side. This is a wonderful place to be able to share, vent and gain knowledge from wonderful supportive people. Thank you.
