HARDEST TIME OF MY LIFE

From the dates of February 2013 through February 2014 was the hardest time of my life.  99% of these days I couldn't get out of bed until the afternoon. When I was able to get up by the afternoon I needed assistance with the simplest task, like getting dressed. I had to cancel jobs because I was physically not capable of doing them. I had several doctor visits throughout the next several months.
March: Dr. visit with primary in chronic pain, broken out in rash, horrible joint pain, pain in my left breast. 
April: Had a physical with my primary, he ordered lots of lab work. I had an ultrasound of my thyroid to check for abnormalities. 
May:I went to see the nutritionist of my medical group who was sure I had Celiac Disease so she ordered the lab work. Luckily this was one test that came back negative.:) Visit with the endocrinologist regarding auto immune with thyroid. ( result from blood work)
June: I was declining weight. My average weight for the previous 7 years was 127.
July:At my rheumatologist visit in July I weighed 117 and I was low in vitamin D and anemic. I had lost 10 pounds from being in chronic pain and not wanting to eat. My doctor ordered several x-rays and MORE bloodwork that day.

I reserved the little energy that I had to push myself to attend my daughters softball games throughout the summer.

I was hoping things would begin improving but there was more to come. What happened in August will be my next post...
