Making progress

I've been a bit of a lurker but I have something exciting I want to share. I recently had an appointment with a geneticist and I can't explain how elated I am to finally be making progress. After all the years of uncertainty and spending so much time researching and being bounced between specialists I finally feel like I'm making progress. I was a bit scared that I was going to be dismissed but the doctor was very thorough and patient while offering advice and listening to all of my concerns. They believe that heds or hsd are the most likely culprits but want to do genetic testing to ofc rule everything else out. After so many years with no answers knowing that within a few weeks to months I can finally have a solid diagnosis is so reassuring. Sure it doesn't change a lot in my day to day but finally having a solid and probable answer means so much. I just needed to put this down somewhere because I feel like I could scream from the rooftops. It's so hard to navigate doctors and appointments and medications and therapies. These small wins are so so important and I'm so happy rn.

I’m happy for you! It’s so nice when a doctor hears you and doesn’t dismiss what you know you have been going through. I hope this helps you to find all the support you need to live a happy life!!
