Does anyone else hurt all day?

Rottendog,

Girl, I was worried about you!! I sent you some emails. Did you get them? I new you were running out of medicine and I was scared something had happened. Don't do that again! LOL.

Are you still going see your doctor tomorrow?

</b> 4 years. Saw the doc many times and they insisted I had osteoarthritis and asthma. And I was crazy and refered to the nuthouse. I did my rocephin X 30 from T'day until Xmas in '08. Went a-fib on 12/15/08, heart still jiggly. But no, I can not seem to shake the darn arthritis and it hurts like hell everyday, all day. Yeah, I was after pain medicine alright after 4 years of hell and needed relief. Instead, at least 30 times I asked for help and got aspirin and mobic and other crap that didn't faze it. I guess I was treated like a drug addict even after diagnosis. But I can tell the pain is causing me physiological problems and doctors can be the most unsympathetic jerks on the planet. Give the guy hydrocodone? Heck no, if he kills himself because of pain, then at least we can say he wasn't on dope. gotta go, my hands are hurting rather badly.

Hi Cajungrl!

Sorry you are hurting so badly and everyone else on here!

The only time I had the intense pain that was not even touched by the pain meds or muscle relaxers was in August 2005, when I didn't know I was sick. All I could do was lie as flat as possible with out a pillow. It lasted about 2 and a half weeks until it became a bearable level of pain. Through the internet and the chiro., I figured out it was Lyme, and went to the Dr. and said that isn't it ironic that ever since I was bit by that tick the last week of June, I haven't felt well and the neck pain is a symptom of Lyme. Rather than test me, he put me on the doxy, but only for 10 days.

I did improve, and felt okay for the years in between, so didn't think anything of it, until March. But this time, the pain never reached the intensity of the first time. But it was different this time and kept moving and changing, and to try to describe it to anybody, I felt like they must think I'm insane or something. I didn't really take anything for it because it didn't relieve it, but lying down it seemed to feel better. Then I thought I must be insane or something. But, by catching it before it got too out of hand, I did finally improve on the IV cefrtiaxone, and HOPE it really is gone. And also that I was not just reinfected the other day!

I did find B1 at the drug store, and was already taking subligual B12, and also B complex from the health food store, so we'll see if it repels the things. It keeps raining here, so they are going to be out all the time. My husband was going to take me to Cabella's and find a really good repellant for me and the the dog, but we haven't gotten out there yet. I don't like the idea of deet, but nothing else seems to work.

If you see this before 2 pm, say a prayer for me. I have an interview to go into Hospice Care. I feel that I belong there and that I will get it, but extra prayers are always good.

I keep praying for you and everyone on here who continue to suffer!

me!!!

this is the deal, i'm a runner, i would run 10-15 miles a week, sometimes 20 miles a week and never had pain this bad. I would have sore legs the next day for a few hrs, but that was it.. This pain is like i work construction all day long and went out drinking afterwards and waking up with the worst hangover possible and being sore at the same time.. BAD COMBO!!!

The only time i feel better is when i'm laying down which is now. I remember when i felt the pain in my back, i went to the ER after 3 days of pain, they just ruled it off as me overworking myself from running to much. i kinda believed them, but not really.. after about 3 more days, i started to feel a little bit better, then a few days later the pain started to move around my body. Went back to the doc, they did some x rays and did a blood test, all came back fine. When i left the Hospital i didn't feel better. I knew something was wrong.. I just didn't know what, until 2 weeks later i saw a circle bulls eye rash on my foot. I thought it was a bruise, but i didn't take any chances and went straight to the doc, he put me on doxy. pain is still here!!!

constant pain drains the body - its no wonder pain & fatigue go together - here is a little bit of advice - I had very bad neck pain for over 2 years - I now sleep with one flattish pillow - [didn't believe it could help] - also when pain was particularly bad I would sleep with a 'surgical collar' on for a few nights - Epsom salts baths are good for easing pain.

I also came to realise that the more I got my blood circulating the less pain I felt - I discovered this by using a 'loofah' or 'exfoliating gloves' - in the shower. it wasn't instant - but a case of noticing I had more pain when I didn't rub my body quite vigorously - finding the energy to do the rubbing was sometimes hard in itself!

take care 'all'

Degonker,

If you read the rules, you'll see that illegal drug talk is not allowed.

You still have to follow the rules. Rules are everywhere you go. I wouldn't want a child reading that for sure.

Ummmm actually nothing is "advertised" here. We speak from experience or from what our doctor prescribes to us. We all talk about Lyme Disease and how it affects us. If you want to make it out to be something else, then go right ahead. You don't have to follow the rules, you can find another forum that won't let you talk about illegal drugs either. Good luck with trying to find one that will actually let you post something like that.

Btw, this is my last post to you. Go find someone else to irritate.

Seriously though, for someone to think it is okay to talk about illegal drugs is beyond me. I just don't understand peoples minds sometimes.

LOL, I'm glad I made you laugh.
