I had a Dr.'s appointment yesterday, and I'll admit I was nervous considering how my last couple have with my family Dr. Well, I went to see an rheumatologist today, who I had got a referral for back in march I think, so I'd been waiting a while. I have to say though it went really well. Him and the nurse were very thorough and kind, They asked lots of questions to rule out other ailments and checked my trigger points. Man was it painful, but it was necessary to diagnose fibromyalgia. Yes I got a diagnosis, I know I shouldn't be as happy as I am, but it makes me feel so much better. I have a real reason for my pain, I can explain things much better to people know when I am educating too. Fibromyalgia is a co-morbid symptom of Endometriosis, so it only makes sense that I have this, and therefore it adds to my pain. I just feel so vindicated! I feel like I am going to be able to get help much easier now, and my confidence is that much stronger. I feel empowered and strong because I knew there was something wrong with my body for many years, even if I did ignore it at times.
I can't wait until Monday morning. We, as in Ryan, his parents and myself, have rented a cottage for 5 days. It is going to be so good to get out of the city for a few days and get myself some nature. I can't wait to go swimming (it better be warm enough) and having a bonfire. It really is a good time for a vacation, and we need it. It's just a matter of getting everything ready now, and I have to do laundry, which I loathe.
