And I wasn't ever supposed to be a difficult patient, right?

I was supposed to be an easy one for her.

And, you know, I never thought that I would be...

a complicated patient or a diagnostic conundrum.

You know, I didn't want this disease.

It wasn't something I sought.

I'm not pain seeking.

I don't have pain.

So I might have fibromyalgia, according to one doctor, but I don't go out there asking people for pain medication.

So it can't be psychosomatic in that sense, you know.

And so with the

you know, diagnostic conundrum that I was, my PCP became convinced that all of my symptoms were due to depression.
