My nightmare

After years of being told nothing was wrong with me, I ended up with a doctor that actually read my medical history, which is extensive, And he said he didnt understand why I hadnt be Diagnosed with this years ago, I had had doctors tell me I was to young to have RA

Or anything else, they tested me over and over for lupus and MS and it always came back fine. Now that I know what I have. and that I am not out of my mind. Has helped a little, the meds were working at one time, But not anymore, I have days I cant even get out of bed. other days i can hardly walk because the pain, Other days i cant even brush my hair because I cant raise my arms over my head, My husband God bless him has been very helpful and understanding.

I feel like I am a 35 year old in an 80 year olds body most days. Fibro meds where working for a time, but i am not on about 8 diff medications a day. i tried yoga, but I cant seem to move after i am done. the doctor says it will help, so i am trying. But at times i do wonder. This is my first time on a site like this, and I am hoping that talking to others dealing with the same thing will help any

    I need support. My fiance recently broke up with me because of my ‘walls’. I went to a therapist and she suggested I have a full physical by my doctor. I haven’t felt like myself in 2 1/2 years and this really hurt my relationship with my ex. [more..]

  • ME TOO! - by Elizabeth - (Fri, Feb 13 2009)
    It started out as having headaches. Constantly getting shots. I could not get anyone to believe that my headaches and pain were not associated. Finally, the last straw. I saw a Doctor at Duke University Hospital. They diagnosed me from just looking over my 2″ thick history. Then they did the trigger point exam. [more..]
