Hello everyone,
I am a 33 year old male in atlanta united states I have an appoimtment with primary care
today for 30 min evaluation.
Asked for cfs diagnosis for social security I have had many visits with this agency Over the last 8 months many of which were walk-ins where i complained Of Fatigue. I have been told that since my blood Count, thyroid Panel, hs-crp, sed rate, homocysteine have come back normal I am healthy though i experience PEM like many on here and flu-like symptoms,muscle aches, brain fog
During last visit and was told usually the pcp don’t make tnat diagnosis in a 15 Minute visit and typically do a refferal To see a rheumatoidologiat Was told a 30 min visit could be done
Anyone have any advice on how to convince pcp that i have CFS I have already been billed for the first visit Since my obamacare insurance requires a 500 deductible in the beggining of the Year and i have very little in savings. And don’t want to keep having to give away savings.
Is this worth the time?
The only labs i have that would indicators Of fatigue is past high ebv viral load,current titers latent, herpes simplex 1 and herpes zoster.Low testosterone reading at 303.
I have not had any herpes outbreaks besides the flu like feelings one gets In a cfs state.Labs sometimes show Slightly elevated wbc and slightly elevated lympocythes but nothing that
has warranted immediate attention.
Thank you guys and gals
