hi Brenda, i read this and had so much pain for you in my heart because i understand what you are going thru, because i was there. i started staying home all the time because it alsohurt me to stand in line for more than a few minutes, pain would shoot up my legs and back and I would FEEL like i was going to faint. i would lean forward on to a counter to get the pressure off my hurt
GO TO THIS SITE( siteadmin@best4health.net ) please over the last 2 years, my health has just run down hill because doctors want to just give pain medicine instead of really finding the reason or sending you to someone that know's about what is wrong with with your symptoms will tell you all about it if allow me to. i have 5-7 specialist's i now go to and 1 reg doctor.some of this could of been prevent or dealt with earlier before progressing if i would of had them before this past 2 years. i use to be VERY active 2 years ago. i ask for you to be a contact so i can talk to you privately about a lot of this. iamcurious is right about the ems machine, it has done so much good for me. i go to his web site all the time best4health.net a lot of interesting in the site. questions answer about health, food, and spiritual help just to name a few. your doctor should of talk to you about your depression and refer you to someone that could help you because belive me depression is worst than the flu. all you want to do is stay in bed, stay away from people and don't want anything to eat. it is a sickness that is hard to get rid of unless you are willing. there is no magic pill you can take for it to go away. it's hard work and telling your mind to behave. God has been my best friend thru all my pain everyday. see a specialist of whoever part of your body is hurting. you might not even know something is there that is hurting you where they have been trained to know. i strongly suggest to go to hematogist. they tell you your reading and go over the results before you leave the office. ( mine does ) they can tell you so much about the right kind of blood test that they run without pain or drinking bad stuff and have mri, x rays etc done to you.that is how i found out that i have lupus. you go to them every 3 months to see how you are doing . at first i had to go more often because of medication they started me on from my r.a. & lupus doctor. i go to the hematolagist any time i have to have any kind of blood work down instead of a place that takes your doc prescription and run a few test like clorestal, iron, ect, where they draw blood and the results are sent to you doctor. i hpe i help a little brenda and hope i can help more.
please let me hear from you maybe i can help, even a little.
God bless
