Maxime;
how are you? Are you in the UK? I was checked for fibromyalgia and other things like that. For that she checked trigger points (you can find where they are online) and the same doc - can you get to a rheumatologist? They can rule out the autoimmune things for you. That will give you something at least - peace of mind!
I have been in chronic pain which is why I went to a rheumatologist, and have been in pain severe to moderate to much less every day since, so when I saw your post I wanted to write. My first gp told me - oh it's in your head, and you're depressed and that's why you hurt! He was an a**. It took a very long time to find the right doctor, so after many general docs, and neurologists, mris, other things, i went to a rheumatologist. She looked for things the others didn't and found an increase in a level of something likely changed because of my fertility treatments. Therefore, maybe related to hormones, then maybe an endocrinologist could help you too. I just want to suggest something. Depression is bad enough, don't let the docs make you feel worse by saying you're lazy or whatever. Find a good doc (just asking where you are because of insurance, and I used to live in the UK but am now in Boston) and let them help you. I cried to my doc recently saying, I don't remember what it's like to not wake up in pain, what is it like for people who won't wake up in pain every day? I took it for granted! So I'm off to a pain clinic tomorrow. I had to push for things. Push for yourself, you deserve it! Good luck to you!!!
