Relief
Joint pain and fatigue
In 2011, I starting having pain in my joints, my spinal column, and a whole menagerie of other symptoms such as extreme fatigue and feeling at times like I had the worst flu in the world. As a nurse, you’d think I’d have made a fire path to the doctor, but as we tend to think the worst I kept downplaying it to myself as just getting older and putting on some weight.
Diagnosed and feeling relieved
Finally, the symptoms got to be so severe I became convinced I had cancer or something along those lines and finally faced my fear and sought help. The diagnosis, while not the best news, was actually a relief because I had really come to the point I was terminal. I was feeling so bad.
