Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Tonni 'Pain' is a disabling symptom - I think for applying for SS disability. I personally havent used it, I used mental disability to get mine....PTSD. You must not get scared to try figure out what is wrong with you Tonni. Think of it like an adventure or treasure hunt, with a big payoff - 'a way to heal'. I know thats a odd way to think about health, but it is true. We have to find the cause before we can find solutions. And dont think that you have every symptom or condition that you read about. Its a information gathering quest, not a fact confirmation. If you diagnose yourself, you more than likely will be wrong, and cause yourself much worry. BUT I always say that we know our own body best. Dont give up because you just may be right. Push your doctors to help you find the answers. And never give up. Peroid. love don in ks I believe and could be very wrong; but, Fibro is not joint pain although that's where it always seems to emanate from. I believe that Fibro affects the tendons and things like that. That's why you feel it in your bones. I do get those spots of pain your Dr. was talking about. But, it's not an every day pain in the same place. It jumps around and then you can have good days and then the days that you don't want to get out of bed. So, your Dr. didn't find it because it wasn't there at that time. Even when I drove 3 hrs down to a larger city, I figured for sure the Fibro would be screaming from the drive. Nope - no pain except when he had a hold on my ankle and pushing my leg up, where his fingers were then screamed.
