I have been wondering if I have Raynaud's. My toes and

finger tips sting. And, I have been colder than I have

ever been. This is the list, sorry it's so long. I

have: OA, osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood pressure,

fibromyalgia, edema (bad enough to take 160 of lasix a

day), something that they call a pain disorder, I have

had a heart attack, TIA, DVT, Severe metabolic disease

( my triglicerides run over 1000), Hyperlipidemia,

fatty liver that is slightly enlarged ( normal is 12

cc, mine is 19), carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel, sleep

apnea so bad that I have to take medication, and to

top it all off...now they are saying that I am

bipolar, in severe major depression, and generalized

anxiety disorder. See above and it is obvious that I

am depressed. I have reason to be,however, I fought

for so long. My doctor told me two years ago that most

people would have already filed for disability. I

worked two years more. I went from being a workaholic

to not being able to work at all. I am now useless. I

can't do most of the things that I used to do. And,

the sad part is that I don't have my list here so I

know that I have forgotten something. When my leave of

abscence ran out, so did my job. Not that I can think

most of the time now anyway. I, also, have peripheral

neuropathy, autosomal neuropathy. I am in pain all of

the time. I have been keeping my sugars in check, but

when the pain gets so severe they go up. Can't help

that. Doctors have me on strong painkillers and muscle

relaxers, but for the most part it just minutely makes

it bearable. I am weak, physically. Very weak and

exhausted all of the time. I have cross referenced all

of my illnesses and it points to MS. What do all of

you think? Thanks, Tami
