| Spine, or Disease
Some of you may have seen my symptoms elsewhere. It started with colitis symptoms including a little blood mucous etc. I took a medication called Pentasa for five days. I also exercised using a weight machine as I usually did.
A day later I sat on the sofa and got pain near my shoulder blade, and possibly a little in the lower back. I then got tingling numbness in the arm, and left leg.
I started getting panic attacks and depression.
One year later its all still here. Ive had all the blood tests, x rays, gastro colonoscopy, they can find nothing.
Still have bowel problems and today the nerve stuff is horrible. Neck cracks a lot, swollen muscles on one side of the neck, sore thorax, nerves tingling and aching in arms, lower legs, upper thigh, burning feet etc.
Yet yesterday I had no bowel problems, and very little nerve problems. Sometimes I get a few days where Im 80% but most of the time, Im 10%.
I am taking an antidepressant for three days, and a ativan on occasion.
I have been to many doctors, but I feel too bad to have the tests done especially with the panic and depression.
I am losing my business and hurting my family. My theories were,
1. Chrons or Celiac, doctor doesnt see it or think so.
2. By coincidence I hurt the spine exercising, but would have to hurt both upper and lower vert to get symptoms upper and lower.
3. Lyme disease- Western blot comes up negative twice.
4 Running out of theories, but it must be serious. Any other theories welcome, but please dont scare me too much, im a basket case. Ive never been this afraid.
5. I really dont think this is all due to panic issues.
6. Im quite possibly doomed, or Im in a major serious condition.
