Hi White Beard - I was thinking about RLS myself. I was looking at my legs this morning in the mirror and I can't seem to notice any swelling. There is no color change and there is no temperature...
Hi Loretta - I don't have a primary doctor up here in Santa Barbara. I have only been up here for, well it will be a year in August, and every time I have been a patient at the local walk-in facility...
God... I am in so much pain right now, I just want to cry. Some how I managed to get through work. It was a short day. I called and made an appointment for my doctor back home as I haven't been able...
It is 10:30pm and I should be in bed. I have work tomorrow, but my legs are really starting to bother me again. I know I have been out of touch for awhile and forgive me for that, but my pain really...
I am so happy to hear that the doctor went through everything with you step by step!!! And it sounds like you are on a good path to recovery. Honestly, if your employer had fired you, I think you...
Rebel_Rhonda - Your work would almost be doing you a better favor if they gave you a medical leave of absence to recover. Would this be possible? If you are still on neurontin, I bet you are tripping...
Hi Rebel_Rhonda! Welcome to the forum! I am not on much but do check in regularly and use the forum when I am in need. When I have been down, the forum has proven to be a great strength for me, and I...
Hi Chartreux - Thanks for looking in on me. My doctor thankfully performed a battery of tests awhile back to rule out arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as both run in the family. I have no chance...
Haha... That is exactly what I call them!!! Horse pills! Give it some time... your stomach should adjust to the disruption. I think just continuing to take them with food will do you good. Am I...
I am going to add yet another congratulations on your accomplishment! It is such a self-esteem booster to see those lbs dropping off. How long have you been on the Metformin? I have hyperinsulinemia...
Snowbunny... you totally cracked me up reading your post!!! Your sense of humor must be a great distraction for you, or at least I hope it can be most of the time. Thank you for the laughter!!! If I...
I heard back from my doctor about the ultrasound of my legs and thank goodness, NO BLOOD CLOTS! She is still waiting to hear about my blood test results to see if there might be any vitamin...
Hi Catz4 - I honestly don't know where I would be without my fiance. Every time I get burdened by my pain I look at him and wonder why he is still here with me? Sometimes I actually ask him. I guess...
Well... I was able to get through the weekend without dwelling too much on what was to come for Monday's appointment. My fiance and I went to Santa Monica pier, 3rd Street promenade and drove around...
Thank you White Beard.... I always seem to fall into the trap. The emotions that come with having so many unanswered questions is such a psychological trip. And when you are alone and not doing very...
My calve pain has been very persistent lately. Last night it was excruciating to the point of disturbing my sleep. My fiance was finally home for the night and we weren't even able to cuddle I was so...
Thanks everyone for your empowering messages! I have a feeling that is what I need now and in the future to get me through what will be a tough life ahead, but I still remain positive! :) Abol76:...
Thank you for the warm welcome!!! Let me start off by saying that I don't expect answers, but a place I can come to for camaraderie and support and maybe ways on how to better deal with my situation....
Hi there world... I am not quite sure where I fit - either Chronic Pain or Chronic Fatigue or something else yet to be diagnosed by a doctor, but all I know is what I feel. I am new to this...
