So, I’ve dropped word of my symptoms here and there throughout these writings, because it’s overwhelming, and frankly, it’s too much to understand at once. It’s so much actually, that I find myself forgetting about symptoms that I have gotten good at dissociating from, but can still totally tell they are there, or that are “having a good day.”
Because of that, I wanted to create a comprehensive list, so I can see what improves, or gets worse, as I make decisions moving forward. Don’t feel like you have to read or memorize this- it’s a reference- and I’m not at all sure that it’s complete.
This list includes some diagnoses, symptoms, and similar pertinent info. I’m hoping this will be useful as I interact with new specialists moving forward.
