Changing doctors was such a good decision and I'm upset at myself for not doing it sooner. I've been experiencing a recurring and alarming symptom for the last 17 months. Every time it would happen, my previous doctor would run the same blood panel and put me on Prednisone 🤢️. Then, a day or two later, their office would call to let me know my results were normal. And that was it. No further investigation even though the underlying reason for the symptom was still a mystery.I've seen my new doctor ONCE and they have already ordered a different blood panel, a new lab test, and referred me to a specialist who took two biopsies. The new doctor also mentioned referring me to a hematologist if biopsies don't offer any answers and an oncologist if the mystery persists after that. I have follow-up appointments for both the specialist and then my doctor already scheduled. I finally feel like I'm being listened to, my concerns are being taken seriously, and I'm on the road to figuring this out.

@deneb@cooler.mom Thank you! I've been so frustrated. Regardless of whether this symptom is something I just have to live with or is treatable or even if it is a symptom of something that will lead to my untimely demise - I just want to know!
