Not knowing is worse than the diagnosis
So its been well over two weeks since I should have known what the blood tests showed. Instead, I know nothing. I have not heard from either my rheumatologist nor my doctor since I saw them last in March. I know everyone says that no news is good news, but I'd still like to hear something either way. Plus, if it's "nothing" than why am I still sick? Granted the meds have helped and I can function more these days, but there are still days that are hard to get through, and some that are even hard to get out of bed. The hair loss has tapered down a bit, but the rest is still there, even if it is not as prominant some days. If it is autoimmune, I know they are incredibly hard to diagnose, but I still hoped to have known something by now. Maybe I'm just afraid they are going to end up thinking I'm crazy and telling me that it is all in my head and stop believing the different symptoms I am describing to them. Maybe I'm just being a bit pessimistic in these thoughts, but it would be nice to know something, even if it's not what I necessarily want to hear ('you have to live with this the rest of your life' instead of 'it is curable').
On the upside, I am officially done my degree. Know of anyone in need of a English and Geography major? It's nice to know that I am done, but a bit intimidating at the same time knowing that I have to find a career now and that I won't be going back to school in the Fall. Oh well, hopefully I will find something that lets me use my degree in some form, and if not, I will always be a proofreader which is alright as well.
