Well, I went to the doc last week and had yet another x-ray done of my chest and they found nothing. He put me on Mobic for arthritis because the syptoms (this time) are pointing that way. It worked really well at first but now today it sin't working nearly as well. It still hurts but not as bad as before the meds. This has been going on (off & on) for at least 4 years. First they said it was asthma, then musculoskelatol, possible pleurisy, now arthritis. I'm scared to death it is cancer or something and they are just not catching it. Of course, that is making my anxiety go bonkers. And now this morning, along with the meds not helping fully, I have a very low grade fever (99.1). Probalby not significat but maybe it is. Am I over reacting? It is so hard for me to tell when I'm so afraid. A D.O. I went to a while back said he wanted to do an MRI next if I couldn't get it taken care of soon. I'm thinking maybe I should go back to him and get the MRI done. He was the one who had a stress test done which turned out good, thank goodness. What do I do (besides try to calm down)???

I know how overwhelming this is, because I have been there myself!
