Protected: Chronic Pain

I am truly sorry for your pain. I hope you find the treatment soon. You are a very strong person.

Tellie, I am so glad you commented on my blog! Your blog has not been updating on my Reader, apparently, and I had to readd it.

I hope you find a diagnosis. I've had various health problems since about June, and it's frustrating.

Happy holidays!

Wow I'm so sorry that you are still not feeling well. I really hope that you find out what is wrong soon so that you are able to treat whatever it is and start feeling better and get some relief.

I almost hate to say this because I know you MUST have already heard about this from so many people during your search for an answer. But many years ago I remember seeing a news story on chronic pain and there were a couple of women featured who described just what you're dealing with. There are groups out there researching it. Here's a link to one: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disor.... Again, I don't mean to be irritating at all. I just thought I'd add it just in case you had never seen this site. I truly hope you do find an answer soon. It's a double-edged sword: you don't really want to find out something is really wrong; on the other hand, continually not finding anything to explain real symptoms just makes you feel crazy. Best wishes to you.

You are very young, but have you been tested for Fibromyalgia, or one of the other auto immune disorders? My mom has fibro, and though her symptoms did not get real bad until about age 50, she can remember not feeling well, with pain symptoms, for many years before that. Just a thought, not trying to interfere.

I hope they figure out how to make you feel better.

i was just reading this and before I got to the part where you listed the things that your docs had tested for...i was thinking fibromyalgia.

Have you ever been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? Do you feel that sometimes your brain is dragging through the mud? Doesn't exercise help it or make it worse?

Awww I'm sorry to hear that. I would say don't give up, there must be a reason - keep looking!

I feel your pain! After a car accident in high school, I lived with a constant headache that progressed into debilitating migraines, at least, 3 days a week. I saw every specialist, missed 60 days of school my senior year of high school, and finally, ended up in the hospital with a 106 fever my sophomore year of college. It was eventually diagnosed as a torn cranial nerve. Not much they can do about it, but at least, I know. It's way better to actually know what is going on! Good luck!

Sure hate to hear that you live with chronic pain also. Mine started at age 12 and hasn't stopped since. I was finally partially diagnosed at age 20, but still trying to figure out everything. Never give up...don't live like this if you don't have to. Good luck and keep me posted.
