Celarnor's Journal

I saw the rheumatologist today. He diagnosed me with fibromyalgia, and told me that I very possibly may have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as well because of the extremity of the fatigue that I was feeling.

This couldn't have come at a better time, at the begenning of a new quarter of school.

The look on my parents' faces when they found out that I wasn't just making it up or doing it for attention was incredible. Not to my surprise, they protested against the rheumatologist with statements like 'Well, everyone else thinks he just has depression'. She mentioned that I was on Lexapro, which he immediately took me off after telling me that it often had an adverse affect on people with FMS, telling me I shouldn't take it. It was great.

I'm so happy now! ^_^
