I was only tested for IGM, I have been mysteriously sick for 19 yrs. I have been able to halfway function and fake it all these years. I recently moved from the Midwest to California 10 months ago to find doctors to help me, and my symptoms have steady progresses since then to the point where it is very difficult to function at all depending on the day. I was 19 when it all started, my daughter was born 3 months premature, 3 weeks later my first symptom appeared in the form of pain and just spread throughout my body over the years, head to toe. I have dealt with the pain quite well, but recently neurological and cardiovascular symptoms on top of the pain, exhaustion and brain fog and depression/anxiety have made it nearly impossible to live. Every day I wonder if I'm gonna die, most days I want to, but I have children and it would be cruel to leave them for selfish reasons. The best part is, I look completely healthy, the picture of health, so dozens of doctors tell me I'm mentally ill and my family thinks I'm a liar. Sorry for the rant, but I bet a few of you have probably experienced the same.
