I was blessed to have a nephrologist at the outset who would tell me that the patient can often feel awful because of problems that are subclinical (ie - not measurable by current testing) - and he told me over and over again that the symptoms I was feeling _were_ real even tho they did not measure on any tests.<br /><br />Somehow that really reassured me, and helped me to rely on my own perceptions.<br /><br />Blessings to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5532388825298713035.post-10276354000446357602009-06-19T20:14:01.012-04:002009-06-19T20:14:01.012-04:00I came upon your blog via invisible illness and I ...I came upon your blog via invisible illness and I absolutely love your sense of humor and approach to dealing with illness.

However, my memory is wacky enough these days that I have moments where i'm ust not sure i've taken it.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469382982063659778noreply@blogger.com
