Thanks Lily & Sally
Lily, I was dxed with a B-12 def by my GI. I haven't been getting my shots lately.
I thought my neuro problems might have been caused by my vitamin defs so I brought it up to the GI. He mentioned neuropathy & MS & sent me to a neuro May 07'. This was way before my leg pain. Most of my neuro problems at the time were in my face. She said she thought it was MS & I was sent for a MRI. When it came back ok, she did a nerve conduction study. That was so painful!!! That test was ok too. I don't know why she even did it. The only nerve problems I had/have are in my left hip because of the birth defect. After all this, she tells me it's arthritis. I already knew this.
My skin really hurts today. It usually feels like a sunburn. Lately it feels like my skin is bruised. Just my upper thighs & upper arms. Feel alot like the pain I get in my face that I call "slapped face." Starts with eye pain, left or right. Hurts to move my eye or blink. Keeping them closed is the only option, if possible. I get a massive migraine & feel like I am going to die. Then my face hurts on the side that my eye hurts. It only covers a quarter or so of my face. Cold is like ice. Heat is like fire. Like I have been slapped & the sensation stayed. This feeling lasts for a few days even though the eye pain only last 12 or so hours with the migraine. This feeling has moved down to my shoulder & lower back. This used to happen every 3-6 months. Although my face hasn't done this in a while, my legs & arms feel this this often. I had some kind of virus in July I guess. The skin on my ear & neck really hurt like like "slapped face."
I had stopped even looking for a dx. Then I had the wreck. I have spent so much time in the dr's office. I almost have to prove that the wreck triggered what ever I have to be 100x's worse. I have got to when my case. I have to get paid for the 4 1/2 months that I missed from my 2 jobs. At the end of December 3 months after the wreck, I calculated $4,000 in lost wages.
And oh, a weird thing happened. I'm used to weird things but this was really weird. I got out of my Suburban & walked to the back. Then I just started peeing! I could stop the flow but as soon as I let go, I started peeing again! I didn't even have to go! I have a fallen bladder & have to go all the time. Bladder pain will wake me up in the middle of the night. But this time, no, I didn't even have the sensation or feeling of fullness. Crazy! I'm only 31! Too soon to wear supports!!!
Hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
