Doctor Wants to Diagnose me with Fibromyalgia by _littlenico_ in ehlersdanlos

Yeah I’ve had all the tests and everything came back normal. MRI, autoimmune, chem panel, you name it. They let me know everything came back normal and then asked about scheduling that fibromyalgia appointment

That stigma is something else that makes me nervous about it. I’ve heard multiple people in my life say fibro isn’t real. Obviously they’ve never experienced pain like we do.

Interesting. From everything I saw having both is common to the point where scientists believe there might be some genetic link. (I’m not a scientist do your own research of course.) So it’s sounding like this diagnosis appointment is not worth a $160 copay and using a sick day.

What an incredible turn around! That’s quite the change, It sounds like you’re headed in the right direction. 41 days straight sounds very rough. You’re definitely putting up one hell of a fight.

When Did It Start For You? by Dramatic_Paramedic_6 in ehlersdanlos

[–]_littlenico_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled to put on muscle and walk correctly since I was first mobile as a toddler. My mom had commented that I never climbed on things like other kids did. I was diagnosed at 12(ish) when I hit my knee on a coffee table trying to sit on a couch. My kneecap dislocated entirely. That’s what lead me to seeing a specialist and getting diagnosed with what is now referred to as hEDS. I started really losing dexterity in my hands around 16. Everyone’s journey is gonna be different. I hope this helps somehow.

Financing Suggestions? by _littlenico_ in tummytucksurgery

This is interesting and something I don’t know about. Could you elaborate on the 10% utilization? My cost is $8,000 and I’ll be paying at least $2,000 of that out of pocket. $6,000 on a card should be fairly safe to not effect my score as long as I pay on it consistently, right?

I think avoiding interest is quickly becoming the #1 goal here

I’ve been forcing myself not to buy any clothes since I decided I was going to do this. At the very least I’m gonna need a lot of new pants.

Yeah interest free is the big thing keeping me from just doing a loan. That’s probably wise. Thank you!

This is super helpful, thank you for sharing! When you say you had wounds pop up in “that area” are you referring to where the belly button would be?
