Heres an update im sure you all have seen me post many questions trying to figure out whats wrong with me. I started my therapy today it was just the initial meeting but he diagnosed me with Somatization Disorder: Somatization disorder is a long-term (chronic) condition in which a person has physical symptoms that involve more than one part of the body, but no physical cause can be found. The pain and other symptoms people with this disorder feel are real, and are not created or faked on purpose (malingering).
Although my symptoms have only lasted a few months he still believes this is what im suffering from. Has anyone had experiences in this?
Hes giving me a writeup about it next session but from my research online it does somewhat sound like what i have.
I am really looking for advice. I have a doctors apt tomorrow, I have mentioned leg pain and they checked me for DVT it feels like tight muscles in my right leg that has lasted over 3 weeks. After the DVT apt i was put on zoloft. Well the pain is still there, do i mention it? Or do i just blow it off as something caused by my anxiety (somatization)
How am i ever supose to know whats real and not real pain wise, thats scares me. I know my therapist will work with me on all this but im still lost and worried it will always be like this.
Anyone have similar experiences or advice?
Thanks you!
