I can’t imagine the stress you’ve endured waiting for these results. My anxiety would have been sky-high already. I’m wishing you a much smoother experience with the next round of tests as you look for answers.

I'm not sure I want to do any more tests after all this, all these efforts didn't yield any results. I also wonder how I held out, maybe deep down I knew the results would be negative, or maybe this thought is just for my own comfort, to help me get through this. I don't know...
In any case, thank you for your empathy and kind words!

I think I understand your frustration. I’m dealing with some issues myself that require constant testing, and I know how incredibly draining the process and the waiting time can be. It wears you down. I believe you will eventually find what works for you—after all, you know your own body and your own limits best.

The thing here is that you can't rely on test results, just as you can't rely on someone to make the right diagnosis. You can never be sure that a negative test is negative, or a positive test is positive (due to poor quality materials, equipment, personnel, etc.). Of course, it's more relieving to get a negative result, usually you don't have to bother proving that it's really negative. But in two different types of tests, I got two different results for the same thing - once positive and once negative. And I have no choice but to listen to my body and only listen to it - are you really sick with this or not? The problem is that after so many scary diagnoses, I have lost my bearings. Even if I thought at some point that this was not true, I am now completely confused and lost. So for now I don't want to do any more tests. I don't want to be confused even more. And without any constructive result in return.

I feel you. I am so sorry for what you have to go through. I get what you mean—like if it's a negative for me, it could mean even more of a headache because I know there is something there, but I don't know what it is. And when it's positive, it is also both a relief and further anxiety for me. It's a relief because my issue is finally valid and confirmed, but I'm also worrying about the next step.
Worse still is getting the wrong or conflicting results. It’s like you are trapped in a limbo.
Not everything can be proven or cured. As we grow older, we all know that most things are not as simple as a cold where you take some meds, sleep, and get well. Most of the time, we just live with it and we manage it.
I think these kinds of things only people like us can understand. If we ever talk to someone who is so blessed they never get sick, they would expect us to just pop a pill and be cured
