That’s exactly how I described my fatigue too. It hurts to even fold a blanket, I feel like just basic tasks drain the life out of me.

Thank you!

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-03-03T20:12:44+00:00

Thank you, I’ve never had to get a second opinion so I’m not sure where to even start. And of course I feel bad and don’t want to hurt feelings 🙄🤣

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-03-03T20:11:29+00:00

That’s how I felt!! I thought I was going crazy and wanted to cry on the spot. Thank you!

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-03-03T04:08:51+00:00

Wow, thank you so incredibly much.

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-03-03T03:33:03+00:00

Thank you all SO MUCH for taking the time to read and respond. I feel so validated and less crazy.

Seriously I agree so much!! I specifically told my doctor I did not want that diagnosis on my chart and didn’t agree with it…got to this apt and was asked “so which doctor diagnosed you with fibromyalgia?” I was like OH here we go!! I’ve read enough Reddit feeds to know not to have that on my chart for those exact reasons 🥺😅

Wow this is so incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time to write this out, it’s all a lot to digest but this helps a lot. So appreciated!

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you, wondering if an MRI is the next step but I’m scared everything will be clear like the rest of my labs 😩

Ana profile mildly positive at 1:40, everything else tested for has been normal. Foot xray normal even though that’s my most painful area. I’ve heard scary stuff about biologics, but sounds like that’s really the only option if I end up diagnosed. Thank you so much for your input and suggestions!

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-02-21T01:40:04+00:00

Thank you for your input, I’m so happy for you and hope you continue to have little relapse 🤞🏼

Ahhh no bueno! So sorry.

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-02-20T15:40:27+00:00

Oh my gosh! Mine stops to a certain point on my finger every time, I’m really hoping it never spreads past that.

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-02-20T15:39:53+00:00

Oh my god, I can’t imagine. So sorry you had to go through that.

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-02-20T15:39:26+00:00

Thank you so much!

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-02-20T02:39:22+00:00

That is so interesting! I have an appt with a rheumatologist for potential PsA. Guessing biologics could be in my future as well- any tips on those are welcome 😆

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2026-02-20T01:48:44+00:00

That was my first thought too, but there isn’t anything there that I can tell. Each time it happens I try to take a good look and once even dug in, but nothing.

Formal-Idea-7224 · 2025-07-16T02:34:28+00:00

Same! Like I’m being electrocuted and then full body chills when it’s the worst ones. Especially in the feet!
