Update on My Chronic Life

So, it has been a while since I have posted an update.

I am still suffering from fibromyalgia, which seems to be getting progressively worse. I have an appointment with my PCP on July 15th to review some increasing and new symptoms. He has some concerns that fibromyalgia was a misdiagnosis and I may have MS or another neurological/auto-immune disease.


I have resolved my pelvic pain issues...praise the Lord!!!  I had a hysterectomy on 5/13/16 and have been steadily improving since then.

I have been newly diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and my doctor has determined there are clearly other issues going on in my back, so they are scheduling and MRI.  In the meantime, I received a nerve pain block injection in my lower back today, which has helped the right-sided pain I was having in my lower back and right thigh.

Unfortunately, I have not found an answer to deal with my daily, debilitating pain.

I am taking steps to see a new pain management doctor that specializes in both fibromyalgia and spine pain.  Please pray that I will not only get answers, but solutions.

Blessings to all of you who pray and all of my fellow pain-warriors!
