New Doctors result with new Ideas - Stay positive

Yesterday when I was at the doctors office, they told me my thyroid gland looked fine. I didn't want to hear that, honestly. My mother and I would have bet the house to hear, "your thyroid isn't working properly." I have every symptom under the sun for thyroid issues, but eveidently, my symptoms point to a different direction for my doctor. She ran some labs, checking for any autoimmune diseases. She also mentioned fibromyalgia, but obviously we have to rule out everything else.
One would think after seeing 10+ doctors, including specialists, I would be rather pessimestic. I am the opposite. What good would it do to think negatively? I started to get into my religion, writing out my prayers and asking God for strength. It has all helped me be positive. The patient should be active in their search for a diagnosis, or finding out what is wrong with them. I never questioned "Why me?" or stated, "my life sucks." I just move on, live day by day. It does help that I have someone on my side, besides God, my mother. She has been to every doctor's visit, test, procedure, etc...She helps me stay positive.

Living Life with an Invisible Illness

I have been battling an invisible illness for 3 years now. Being undiagnosed sucks, but it is something I have learned to live with so far. Seeing doctor after doctor is a routine for me at the same time hearing, "everything looks ok." I know something is not okay. Luckily I found a doctor that is really pursuing my illness and seems determined to help. At first they thought it was my thyroid gland, because I have had problems since I was a little girl. My thyroid scan came back OK. I know it may seem bad, but I wanted them to find something. I have memory problems and my dr is scheduling an extensive memory test, and soon an MRI. I have problems articulating what I want to say when I am talking, and I have problems remembering the days and dates, months even. Anyways, from here on out I am going to blog my experiences. Maybe it will help someone who just recently started having problems and dr's do not know where to start.
