I posted in late January that my rheumatologist told me with normal C3/C4 complements Sjogrens couldn’t be causing fatigue and brain fog and sent me to my PCP. However I opted to see a functional Dr and had first visit today and I’m very encouraged.

1)she didn’t dismiss my symptoms and actually showed empathy
2)asked a lot of questions about my history, back to how I was delivered.
3)contradicted previous Drs saying my testosterone, Vitamin D and iron absorption levels were normal.
4)thinks I have some dysautonomia and potentially long Covid. It’s amazing that none of the Dr I’ve seen before asked enough questions to think about other conditions.

We’ll see how it goes but I’m optimistic she’ll help me.
