The Unknown Medical Update

[Nighthawk]

Hi ,

I have been struggling with my health. Very strange and weird things happen to me often and I can no longer rely on my body to function the way I would like it. Two weeks ago I had an issue with inflammation to the point that every single joint in my body was in major pain. It has made my existence even harder than it has been. I have been really depressed.

On Wednesday I go back to the Dr. I hope he can give it a name as those around me are getting very frustrated. I am losing the few supporters I have. It seems my life is on a continued path of down hill.

Please wish me luck on many levels.

That it can be named, be helped, that I am not going crazier.

I appreciate any kind thoughts as I am really struggling.

:( I'm sorry you are still struggling. Is this doctor a specialist of some sort? Good Luck!!:hug:

Hi Nighthalk,

I have been wondering how you are doing. I hope you get some answers soon. I know what it is like when everyone knows something is wrong but can't tell you what it is.

If you want a pocketrider for the appointment count me in! I miss being able to get into chat but my computer is getting older and it freezes almost everytime I try to get on there. I will be thinking of you on Wednesday.

I am so sorry for that kind of pain. I can't imagine how horrible that must be. Have you tried any chronic pain groups? I went to two different ones for about a year and I got a lot out of them. I also saw a pain psychologist. That helped a lot. It is so tough when others' can't see the reason for your pain and get tired of it. I still have pain but I have some sort of control now.

I am going back to the Rhumatolgist. He gave me cortisone shot which helped but my anger has been out of control. I also have restarted anti depressants.

The problem I run into is Dr fatigue. I will look into chronic pain support groups. All the things I need to change all seems very overwhelming.

Poor thing, I just got off a 6 day prednisone taper which is why I'm still awake. The best advice I got was to pace myself. Do I? Sometimes. When I do it works really well.

I hope that you get the answers you seek and soon find some relief from your symptoms.

I myself am going through a battery of tests to discover the cause of overall weakness and pain that is forcing me to sit after only a few minutes of standing/walking. It is very frustrating as I am sure your symptoms are for you!!!

I will be thinking of you and praying for you. I hope you know that you will always have my support no matter how 'crazy' things may seem. Pain can be a joy-killer and I hope that you will soon find some comfort and healing.

Anger is a NORMAL reaction to pain, especially severe pain. I hope your people know this, I hope they can TRY to be more understanding. I'd say that feeling depressed under these circumstances to normal too. I do hope that the Support Group will be helpful for you!
