Hi,
My name is April and I haven't been diagnosed as of yet. The doc says that all the tests are showing normal and until something more appears I'm kinda in a holding pattern. I don't want to complain, but I thought that I might at least find some peace of mind here. I ache all over, my arms and legs go numb at times and it keeps me awake at night. Sometimes the pain is less than others, but it seems that it is always there. Heat seems to help, hot water and even the tanning bed. This has been going on for almost 3 years and I finally got to the rheumy about 2 weeks ago. He gave me an anti inflammatory and muscle relaxer to try to help. So far it helps some, but doesn't make it all go away. Am I crazy or do I need to keep pursuing this? Doc doesn't want to see me again until Dec. unless I have a flare up before then. It's awful to want to hurt THAT bad, but it's enough to make you wish for it. Any advice or words of encouragement?
Thanks
April
