      Lately I've been tired of being undiagnosed. It's not coming up on any tests so far

        @sabbymer What type of symptoms do you have? There are a number of conditions that don't show up on basic tests.

          @CoffeeAndDogs I have wrote a whole list down after reading about fibromyalgia. I have the memory loss, sleep loss, and my muscles are always in pain. I have a lot of the little rare things it can cause too like a rash and skin sensitivities and IBS. It would just explain everything so much compared to the things I do have diagnosed. Could be something else of course but it was explaining very specific things from my life too.
