Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 Hi all! I just joined the group a few minutes ago. My name is Hope and I just turned 46 on May 30th. It seems that when I turned 40,my body turned on me. I was diagnosed at the time with depression,Hoshimotis disease and diabetes. At 42 I had my gall bladder removed and have a jar of the smoothest ROCKS that you've ever seen. There are 17 of them and most are as big as my index finger,a couple as big as my thumb. Three years ago I was very depressed and went to our local mental health clinic. I told the worker how I was feeling and the way my body hurt. My muscles and joints are in constant pain and many times are very stiff. The worker gave me info on fibromyalgia and I finally got the answers I was looking for. It is one thing to have a disease that can be measured in sugar levels,t cell levels,and how depressed you are. It is quite another to have so much pain,go through every arthritis and muscular disease test only to be told they are all normal. Your Dr. looks at you as if you are crazy and you begin to feel as though you are loosing your mind too. I know by joining this group I am amoung those who understand the way I feel. I would welcome hearing from those of you who would care to share your stories. I am also trying to get disability and have almost been driven to distraction with that. I am in the very last stage,final appeals council,of my case. I am unable to work at all. I cannot even take rides in the car or shop at the supermarket for more han 20 minutes without a great deal of pain. I get panicky thinking that I will be forced to go back to work when I am unable to even keep my own house up without a lot of help. If any of have any tips on this I would surely appreciate it. Thanx Hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
