Not sure how this actually works, but here goes?!

Around 22 years ago, i started with vertigo/balance problems, and having been told they would 'sort themselves out' over time, i'm now worse than ever with this disabling condition! Throw in various other symptoms, including, IBS, digestive problems, stiff, aching joints, skin rashes, dry eyes, mouth, skin, trembling, weight issues, cognitive issues, i've had, fibromyalgia, lupus, thyroid 'problems' sarcoiodosis thrown at me, but nothing ever diagnosed!! I must have seen 7 or 8 gp's, and 6 or 7 consultants, and it all gets very frustrating and at times quite depressing……

    Heya @Starman and welcome to the community.

    That sounds like quite the wild ride you've been taken on to still not get a firm diagnosis, I'm so sorry. I know how aggravating it can all get, but a lot of it is doctors trying to cross off what it isnt rather than working out what it is, so it can take a long time. Have they narrowed things down a bit at least?
