So I went back to the doctor for a follow up on my X-rays and blood tests today. I previously went because I have chronic pain in my neck, back, and knees. I say chronic, but it comes and goes on an hourly basis some times. Anyhow, I went back today to find out nothing is wrong with me except my white blood cell count is slightly below normal.
Somehow, I knew this was going to happen. The physician is sending me to a rheumatologist (however it's spelled, it's a joint doctor) to see if some mysterious ailment that didn't show on neither my x-rays nor my blood test is present.
I can't say I'm suprised but rather a little dissappointed. I really want to get over this pain which has been bugging the hell out of me for three or so years. I hate to think that this is some sort of psychosomatic problem but I don't know what it is, the doctor didn't have a clue, and I'm not willing to accept something like, "You've just got sore muscles." If that was said I think I'd be even more upset than I am now.
We'll see, although I'm itching for the specialist just to agree with the general physician.
Well, once the stack of bad news gets so high, one more thing doesn't make as big an impression.

Sorry dude that sucks, no one ever thinks i am sick when i am because i rarely have a fever even when i had the flu or strep throat, so you can imagine how many days i went to school being sick

I know how you feel. I thought I had diabetes a couple of years ago. I had all the symptoms, including being tired all the time. However, the blood tests came back negative for diabetes, hypoglycemia, mono, etc. Still don't know what the deal is.
It's all smoke and mirrors anyway...

Just me being a smartass...it's a snake oil reference...half of medicine is just guessing anyway. For example, the health center at my university prescribes antibiotics (azithromyacin usually) for everything. Why? Because they don't know.
Guesswork
Smoke and mirrors, my man...smoke and mirrors

Whatever germs I get from grabbing my belt buckle are far less than the germs I get from grabbing the sink.
There's a joke that goes something like this:
Two guys walk into the bathroom, one is from Harvard and one is from Yale. They both use a urinal and as the guy from Yale is leaving, the guy from Harvard asks, "Didn't they teach you to wash your hands after you leave the bathroom?"
He replies, "No, they taught us not to piss on our hands."
