Hello, I'm a new lady here. I'm 35, married for 17 years, 3 kids ages 6,8,16. I stay at home doing my chores & mostly my art, i love painting murals, or canvas,ceramics, if you watch the HGTV or DIY network channels, thats me, i love that stuff.But sometimes i just can't do anything, i'll have to wait until i'm able.I use to be depressed, but i pulled myself out of it, i'm mostly ANGERED, toward the medical doctors i see.I'm frustrated, and i'm looking for a new dr, i hadn't told my Dr, now that she's fired, i want to wait. I turned in her network physician( neurosurgeon) she refered me to because he was rude, arrogant, disinterested, i drove 2 hours to see him, and only in the room  with him for 5-10 minutes. I walked out crying , and the receptionist gave me a survey to fill out, so i did, while crying, i told her to give it to him, i didn't want it to be anonymous. Well since my family Dr found that out she won't return my calls, she since denied me to have a MRI of my brain done to check for MS, and she discontinued my pain med. I know it was all becuase of that. it's very unfair.I have fibromyalgia, CFS,DJD,crohns, osteopenia & arthritis of sorts, herniated disk at L3&4, spina bifida occulta, lordosis, and slight curvature to the left. Pins & needle pain up and down both legs, heavy leg feelings, i have had temp paralysis for an hour so sometimes, they give out on me alot, burny achy buttocks & legs and arms to the hands, loose my grip, drop things sometimes. Dr knows once i was dianose with neuropathy and was on 1800mgs for that, but since i've been with her for the last 3 years, she hasn;t treated that.The pain meds that i do get to have is tramodol which helps but not enough. I'm thinking some of these are MS symptoms, i also think perhaps i may be a diabetic, i get very ill when i don't eat or keep some food in me, always thirsty. MS Diabetes is in my extended family. I'm just venting, wanting to see if anyone here has any info for me, or just meeting friends, i've lost my best friends due to these issues, i can't go when she wants to go, so she no longer talks to me, that caused me to be sad for a long time, but now, it's whatever, i don't dweal or her, i just have a hard time trusting women friends. I have a good hubby though, he helps me always.  Dr's have done all the anti depressants, i refuse anymore, i gained 30+ lbs in the last year & half, i take soma, ambien for sleep, which it give me vivid dreams, some are pretty scarey,tramodol is the major one, i've been on that for over 4 years. the med that i said she took away from me at the top of page was lortab 10, she was refilling that too, until i made the complaint about the other Dr. I got screwed over, crazy thing is, i didn't do anything wrong. I'm 35, and tired of being judged labeled, seeking HELP is awful.I have a whole month until i meet a new family doc.My legs have tremors, sometime it won't stop so i went to local ER and they diddn't have a clue, even though i told them neuropathy, they sent me home empty handed almost, the diagnoses was caffeenism, i only had 2 dr peppers that day, the nerve, they're idiots.
I can't trust any of them i feel.
 
well thats me, some of me, theres other issues, but that can come later, i am attending PT though, i was very sore yesterday.
Hugs,
Angel
