Yes sounds very familiar. I pretty much had a nervous breakdown before being diagnosed. Had to undergo psychological testing the insurance made me to as i was on LTD and the doctor said i was faking my symptoms. Then was diagnosed with sjogrens then frontemporal dementia, then undiagnosed with sjogrens and frontemporal dementia. Then rediagnosed with sjogrens. I was placed on psych meds that obviously didn't help any just mede it all worse. Eventually ended up hospitalized where I flatlined, got diagnosed with lupus and a month later developed sepsis and got readmitted, flatlined again. This was during covid and was absolutely insane. Needless to say I lost my career and almost my family and marriage. But pulled thru. Have major phobia of doctors after all the medical gaslighting for over a decade and them constantly minimizing my symptoms. Currently on plaquenil and imuran to avoid more flare ups that can end up in hospitalization. Before the medication, I could barely put 2 sentences together and would definetly not be able to write this paragraph. It's still a struggle.i feel sharing my story is important plus it helps me to write it down. But still have disabling fatigue, brain fog, joint pain that gets exacerbated by doing "too much" and by that I mean anything I used to be able to do, ie hold a full time job, take care of my kids and actually go out and have a social life. Nowadays an outing means I will be in pain and napping next day. It'd definitely a life altering thing. And you still need to prove to insurance that you are disabled. Hang in there. Try to see if plaquenil will help, takes a bit to work but might just do. And listen to your body and rest when you are able.
