Pain

I am in constant pain. My head aches, my muscles are weak, and I am dizzy and sick to my stomach all the time. It has been like this for years. My doctor told me that I need to see a psychologist because there isn't anything wrong with me. She says my symptoms are caused by depression. I got depressed after the pain started and there wasn't anything I could do about it. I lost my insurance and can't see the doctor anymore. My family helps me out with pain medication when they can spare it, but when I only have tylenol and ibuprofen I can barely get out of bed. I have two kids and I'm raising them alone because my husband left me. I am starting to think there is only one way to make the pain stop...

ME, CFS, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Look it up, ask a doctor. Look up 'a hummingbirds guide'. Good luck, and take care.

in 2004 my father had just died and i started felling pain in my muscles and joints and i was told "stress" from losing my last parent. a year later i was told join a gym and work the muscles and go on antidepressants. a year later when i was having fevers everyday around 3pm my doctor FINALLY ran blood work and i have systematic rhumatoid arthritis. the damage was already done to some muscles and the last 3 fingers on each hand. i agree the stress did not help, but there was a serious and sometimes fatal condition going on. you are the only one who knows your body, do not let them tell you nothing is wrong. there are free or low cost clinics everywhere, you need to find one. good luck

Don't stop searching for a dr to help you, if not for yourself, than for your kids' sakes...

Do some research on your symptoms...there are lots of conditions that fit the symptoms you describe...
