Some sort of diagnosis

Some of you know that I've been battling medical health issues for years now.

Well, I finally got a diagnosis for at least part of my problems, if not all of them. I have Fibromyalgia. This is responsible for my constant body aches, exaggerated pain response, chronic fatigue, migraines, stomach issues (it may or may not explain my constant nausea) and can even cause depression. It's one of those diseases that there isn't a test for. More like something they consider when everything else has been ruled out. So even now, it's not 100% certain.

I've been put on a low dose medication. It'll take about a week to start working and for me to adjust. Currently, this medication makes me feel very very drugged. Kind of like my head is floating away and I slur my words! They say this feeling will go away. If the meds don't help, we will increase the dose. If that doesn't work, we'll try something else.

I am happy to have some sort of diagnosis. Tho I'd rather have been told that I had something that could've easily been cured. As even though Fibro is treatable, I can still have bad flare ups, even on medication.

Fingers crossed that I start feeling better. Then I can take more pictures :)
