For the person below neurologist said it was probably falgromalgia …so I’d try to remember what changed at the time your pain started .. New meds … As I could have been in a wheelchair just now if I hadn’t pushed
I’m diabetic I took I’ll last yr needed to go on insulin doctor said I looked like death … I was tested for every autoimmune disease my symptoms were numbness tingling spasms urine urgency then unable to go .. Bowel pain .. Tightening in my chest like something squeezing me … Nothing was found looked like ms as I had slurred speech unable to walk without falling ..I was in constant pain I gave up on the nhs as they were wanting to diagnose I wanted fixed .seen a herbalist got a juicer juices treating immune system and then supplements improved a good bit then seen a homeopath she said I think your reacting to drugs … Insulin was killing me my body thought it was poison drugs don’t always act kindly to people … I’m told it’s a I in 10’oooreaction I’d still be I’ll if I’d listened to nhs … I don’t think it’s as rare as I’m told as nhs had no idea what was up I had to find out … I’m known for my stubbornness I was given the night to live 11yrs ago i don’t accept the word of one person … Drug reactions cause very serious chronic pain
I’ve not be diagnosed with the wrong condition, but coming to have a pre-op assessment for nasal/sinus surgery, I was told they were concerned with how difficult it would be for my head to be in a certain position for this operation which will be a couple of hours, due to my osteoarthritis!!!
