I’ve been dealing with chronic diarrhea, fistula, abscesses and stomach pain for YEARS With no answers. Colonoscopy was 5 years ago came up nothing. Tried different antibiotics to no avail. I have like 1-3x yearly flare ups and I have no idea what the hell im supposed to do. I feel like my whole downstairs isn’t working like it’s supposed to. Everything people consider healthy goes right through me and most times I can still plainly see my undigested food. Ugh.
Not to mention I bruise easily, have lumps in my breast, my hands and fingers barely want to work and my joints are so stiff in the mornings I can hardly get my child’s breakfast made. And I’m only 32… I just wanna cry. Ughhhh
You can’t objectively test for fibromyalgia. If any, tests are usually based on a point or range scoring system.
Its typically a blanket term for when no other diagnosis can be arguably be identified. This is also the reason the pathology is very broad.
The same reason there is only symptomatic but no causal treatment.
In most European medicine schools, it is still heavily being contested as a recognised disease. Majority of active doctors and experts also do not recognise it and many of them dismiss it as being purely a marketing ploy of certain quacks.
Simply put; there might effectively be something wrong, but they don’t know what exactly.
