Personally, I waited 5 years to receive a diagnosis… and this was such an incredibly hard and lonely time… I was very ill and progressively getting worse, but I had no answers to tell friends, family, my work… I even was forced to apply for disability before we even knew WHAT was making me so sick. I felt so horribly invalidated everywhere in life - and I was actually MORE sick before I received my diagnosis… with treatment I was able to improve some!
I just want to help others to know that your lack of diagnosis does not mean your symptoms or situation is any less valid. Keep pushing… the answer is there… and you are worth it!!
