[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 167478"] I would be totally ok with treating the symptoms, but we're not even doing that. Everyone seems to think that I'm going to end up with a diagnosis and both my GP and neuro thought it would be the rheumy. The rheumy thinks either the neuro or now an endocrinologist. I saw this guy 3 weeks ago and he was so passionate about wanting to find out what caused everything. Saying he was going to have to do some thinking and some reading, saying there had to be a common thread. And yesterday was totally different. He was completely dismissive. So, I keep getting my hopes up - and everyone seems to keep thinking I should - and then they come crashing down. If someone would say, this is as good as it gets, then I could plan for it. I see my GP today. Was supposed to see her at 9:30, but as I have no stupid car and need a ride I got it pushed back until 1:15. I didn't have a way to get there at 9:30. We'll see what happens. I'm afraid to even hope. The rheumy mentioned a new NSAID called Mobic or something - I haven't heard of it. I'll talk to her about it, but honestly, if they keep saying that my bloodwork doesn't show inflammation, I don't know why they keep putting me on anti-inflammatories. They need to make up their mind. [/QUOTE]
