Why doesn't my doctor ever say I'm somatizing? Why? WHY?
Had to get some disability forms filled out, and mentioned that I felt like crap and thought one of my new meds was to blame. She ordered tests. The good news is no, it's not the med. Bad news is a strongly positive ANA (test for lupus and other things I don't want) and parathyroid is behaving badly, which means I'm firmly in Stage 3 kidney failure (I've had kidney disease forever, but only recently bad enough to fuck up my bones).

But I do get to stop taking one med and I did get my steroid injections in my arcomion. And no rhabdomyolysis. So yay.
