Thank you for writing about your experience. It sounds horrific and I am so glad you finally got your diagnosis. As someone with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, i know what it is like to have an invisible disease. Your experiences resonant with mine while trying to figure out what in the hell was wrong with me! Also, all that you have and will still go through with friends and family not understanding what is going on with you. Hang in there and keep writing!
