Hello. I am JenniferNikole. I have chronic pain. Today I am off work. Normally, I work from 7 am til 5:30 pm.

Please tell me what you did to have a doctor diagnose you. I don't have a rash. I've had some mild rashes in the past. I had one spot on my stomach that lasted for MONTHS and I finally took clippers and made it go away. It still lingered for months.

I have itching on my side (Underarm) and may have a slight rash - but nothing major. However, much of the time clothing is irritating. I am sensitive to the touch around my rib cage and have been for years. I've been to the ER and had EKG's ...Apparently my heart is fine. I've had Xrays - nothing going on as far as pneumonia, etc.

Please tell me ...Anyone else out there who can relate to chronic pain and pushing yourself to work everyday?

Thanks.
