None of the doctors I saw, several ENT docs, and two joint specialists did along with several other doctors with different specialties had an idea of what was wrong with me or causing all my pain and symptoms.
That could've been written by me! And i completely agree. Self belief that i knew there was something wrong and challenging the docs is something i wish i had done 3 years before i was diagnosed.
I think i would tell myself to trust my instincts and get a second opinion, source a Wegs expert and never give up.
Sangye i hope you were able to make it through your day and celebrate adequately.
