This is from McDowell, I didn't know how to answer your post on here. Thanks for answering me, I'm the one with nerve pain and you were going to a neurologist about fibromyalgia, how did you make out?? Yes RSD was brought up to the doc's I've seen, some say yes some no, some a little. I hope its not but I'm leaning that way, whether it can affect my entire body?? I don't know, but it seems I can't get ahead in the muscle pain dept. no matter how active I try to be and it is a very painful struggle. I have had broken bones before and injured muscles that healed in months, this has been years. I feel meno. has crossed over into it too, so its hard to know which is the culprit. A doctor I had seen had a patient that her muscles were so bad she couldn't go up steps {sounds like me} and she went on pregnolonone and got well. It makes my heart palpatate, so its out for me. Maybe I have fibro. Its very hard to get you doc to take all your symptoms in and help you instead of labeling you or passing you of to someone else who doesn't get it either. I have a hard time on meds that could help me as it seems they end up working against me. Nice to talk with you and I agree, we look ok on the outside but feel like I'm dying on the inside. Its mind {trying} over matter to get thru each day, but doesn't always work. I can't understand why at times I have a halfway ok day and 10 bad ones. Thanks
