Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Iam so glad there is a place where people can go that have this... I was told I had this years ago and now it is to the point that I can't sleep but iam so tired all the time...here it is 5:45am and i still can't sleep my body aches so bad and sometimes my skin feels like it is on fire. I am having a hard time getting my doctor to listen to me now that I have a new doctor he says well you are getting older...I'm really getting tired of that. I am going on 59 and I work full time,but I am off work right now due to a degenerative joint disease in my knee the swelling is so bad I can hardly walk at times and when i do I have to sit down every five min....How do I get my docto to listen to me. I may have to have surgery on my knee..I have a bad heart...diabetes...bronchial asthma...macular eye degeneration I'm thinking about filing for my SSI...I just dont know what to do...Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks for your time.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Dear Donna, I to am very glad for this place. Sometimes it seems that the only people who really understand are the people that have it. My hubby tries but I know he gets tired too. I know that it is hard for him to go on at times he works so hard to make up for what I can't do. Have you ever tried any non traditional Meds? I have and it works for me . Please write any time. I love Mail. G. aka mamawshay @ msn.com hello Iam so glad there is a place where people can go that have this...
