If you've been following my blog, you
might notice, what I'd consider as a writer, some inconsistencies.
Basically, I talk about my symptoms, but my diagnoses have changed
over the last year or so. For example, if you go back to May 2015, I
claim to have Systemic Lupus Erythmatosis...and that's because in
2015, that was my diagnosis.
Shit, that's part of the reason I started The Purple Moth.
However,
my current doctor who has been incredibly proactive, has explained
that she does not believe my condition to have to do with
autoimmunity. Which is entirely possible.
In my
most recent post, titled It
Gets Better, I explain the
most recent discoveries my doctor has made involving anemia and
depression, along with the amount of time I've lived with anemia and
spinal deformities.

I
wanted to clarify what my current conditions are, if one were to read
my chart:
- Anemia
- Scoliosis
- Anxiety/PTSD
- Depression
- Fibromyalgia
I'm
honestly not sure whether I have Fibro or not. I definitely have lots
of the symptoms, but whether I actually have it or if I just have
negative effects from prolonged anemia is uncertain. It's something
I'll definitely need to talk to Dr. S. about this month, anyway. My
first doctor at my current clinic diagnosed me with Fibro and it was
never redacted from the chart. So we'll see.
At any
rate, I'm so happy to be getting good treatment this year. I
sincerely hope that everybody reading gets equally good treatment
from their doctors and medical staff. It's not always easy. Sometimes
it downright sucks. So my thoughts are with all'y'all.
If
you'd like to share your own diagnosis/es, or your experiences with
doctors/staff, hit me up at NikeNicholson@gmail.com.
The Purple Moth loves to hear from others, and I'd love to feature
you.
