@healingalice: For nine years I was told I was fine. Normal bloods. Normal MRI. I had: ME/CFS. MCAS. EDS. POTS. Craniocervical instability. A spinal cord tethered since birth. None of it showed on standard tests. Because nobody ordered the right ones. Then I found specialists who did. Motor evoked potentials testing showed my brain's signals weren't reaching my muscles properly. Upright MRI with flexion/extension showed what lying-down scans missed. Dynamic cord imaging showed a cord that wasn't moving freely. My story isn't unusual. It's just documented. If you have folders of normal results and a body that doesn't match them, the right tests exist. The right specialists exist. You just haven't been sent there yet. Follow. There's more to this. 🌿 Save and share to help others ❤️‍🩹 #chronicillness #cci #tetheredcord #mecfs #medicalgaslighting chronic illness misdiagnosis told I was fine but I was sick normal tests but still unwell CCI misdiagnosis tethered cord missed diagnosis ME CFS misdiagnosis chronic illness NHS failing patients motor evoked potentials test upright MRI CCI nine years undiagnosed

The NHS and the UK is so behind. Where did you go to find your answers? Spain or the US?

@Angel_for_life - sarcasm :
I fully agree I have myself been unwell now for 5-6 years and so far all tests have been fine but I have a swollen distended upper abdomen when I stand which is fine again upon sitting and lying down, it causes constant pain, opacity in one lung, and a whole range of symptoms including a low grade or borderline temp 80-90% of the time and I'm having trouble getting answers to what is going on, I've asked them many times for scans etc whilst standing given it is positional distenrion and getting told no, I'm trying to fight for an MRI and not getting one, it's ridiculous gastro didn't even examine me first referral blamed my IBS refused 2nd one, then the doctor had no choice but to refer me to general surgery who found two conditions gastro should have found I'd they done they job though neither are responsible for what is currently going on, it's a joke, this has been going on for years, general surgery have now referred me back to gastro and I'm waiting to seen again by then after years of this and waiting to see the respiratory team as the breathing issues it causes got diagnosed as mild copd and my symptoms are not consistent with copd and inhalers do not work. Such a shit show I've lost my career, I've lost my quality of life all because our NHS can't do their job right even though I have signs and symptoms of something being wrong! Addiontionally, it took 6 years after an xray confirmed athritis to convince my doctor to refer me to Rhematology, even though I have ME/CFS and signs it could be rheumatoid athritis which my other had. I'm done with them as soon as I get a proper diagnosis I will be taking legal action for loss of earning, career and the emotional and psychological toll this has had on me. I think the fact I keep ending up in hospital when I don't have a history of using out of hours in my whole should alone make them take me seriously! I've even been sent directly by my GP to A&E due to the state I've been in.
