| A little about me: | Hi! I am so glad to finally have some people to talk to that seem to understand what i am going through. i am 38yrs. old single mom with a sixteen yr. old daughter. I will get right to it. I am low income so the doctor i go to will not order certain necessary tests for MS. He has done cat scans and MRI's but only the basic tests. I have to whine and plead to get any kind of support. He says i have fibromyalgia/osteoarthritis due to hand/finger swelling and stiffness. I have horrible facial pain on one side, and if i talk to much (i work at a school so i am forever talking to the kids), and i also have tingling in toes, leg pain, neck pain, shoulders feel like boulders on them sometimes and back pain. I have muscle spasms as well. You name it i have it. I feel like i have lost function in my right hand and drop things and things fly out my hands. My doctor put me on celexa first, that worked on my pain for a month. i was on it a yr. before the pain got so severe , i called the doctor and screamed at him that he better do something about this pain, i cannot keep missing work and i cannot even raise my bed sheets without pain. He then put me on cymbalta. that just made me so drenched in sweat i had to leave work and change clothes. so after tons of whining and pleading they put me on lyrica and tramadol . I feel much better, but it does not help all the time. But for now, this is the only medicine i can cope with and make it through my work day. I feel like my own boyfriend doesnot really understand and he is much older than me and my mother who is 62 says to stop complaining, i am not even that "old" yet to have those pains. I feel like people think i am crazy and i really am miserable alot of the time. |
