I need help

[Guest guest]

This email is going to take alot of strength to type, but I need to find help. I am hoping another person will understand and maybe give me answers the doctors are not.

As I said in other emails, I am a 25 year old male in Boston Massachusetts, Usa, 5 weeks ago I was normal, happy, living life to the fullest, love to dance and run around. My left elbow began to get tired, it clicked and crunched, it went up to my shoulder, burning, under my armpit I have a big muscle clicking crunching that feels sore and kinda pulls if I shrug or lift..my entire back aches from neck to tailbone, the pain has moved to my right side, both shoulders burn, my elbows are always so tired that I have trouble typing, washing my hair, my mind is not my own, I am always very sad, VERY fatigued, my job let me go this week because they said I was a liability and besides I was too sore and tired to lift and stand much. SOOO.. Ive seen back doctors, was put on prozac and buspar, both left me with bad sexual side affects, so I stopped them, now I just wake up daily feeling sad and down, not wanting to live life, by the end of the day I crawl home to my heating pad and sleep. Alot of people here in the group email me and tell me it sounds like FIBRO, so ive done search after search, and the more I search the more I think its me, but the sad stories I recieve from everyone leaves me not much hope, other than I will be in pain the rest of my life, and it only gets worse as I age. At 25, I want to die, I feel rather than living in such pain, I would rather go to sleep and not wake up. I can no longer hope for graduate school with interior design due to my tired arms. I was let go from a job I love, due to being sent DR to DR, to DR, and all of them tell me ITS IN MY HEAD, i look and appear healthy, my physical exam shows my body being fine. I try and tell the dr the pain I am in, and he told me it was all in my head, and even if I had fibro, he couldnt do anything about it other than tell me to live with it the best i can, for there is no cure. He told me he would not give me pain pills, which killed me, because I need them. I need the help of anyone who has this, I also have been having bad prostate problems, and I heard that goes with male fibro, prostatits, chronic.

My body is not my own, I am overwhelmed and just want to sleep. I think to myself that I will do yoga, take meds, keep a healthy mind.. but my body wont let me do anything I want to do, and when I force myself to dance or work, im in such pain. I feel the more stressed I get, the more sore I get?

Will anti depressents really help the pain? am I going to suffer like this day after day?

Anyone from Massachusetts that has a doctor that understands? I am going to see so many people over and over, and they all think I am nuts. I have all the trigger points.

Can Fibro hit me this fast? within 5 weeks time, ive gone from myself to someone I do not know, From a 25 year old mind, to an 85 year old body.

Please, Anyone.

First I want to tell you that there IS hope. Have you looked into "alternative" treatments yet? You should.

I'm sure there's no need to ask this since you've seen so many doctors......but have you been tested for Lyme disease? Mono?

I'm by no means an expert, but I DO believe Fibro can just pop up out of nowhere. That hasn't been my experience, however. Mine started with joint and muscle and tendon pain that would only bother me a couple of times a year. It would hurt for one night and then be gone. About 6 months ago it started happening about once a month and lasting a few days. About 3 months ago I started having pain that would last about a week, and would happen at least twice a month. Between flare ups I feel fine. But those two weeks out of the month....I feel terrible. I just want to stay in bed. Usually it's only one or two areas that hurt at one time though, so at least it's not my whole body yet.

I hope you find the answers you're looking for very soon. Look into those alternatives, though. They offer a lot more hope than dr.'s do, in my opinion.

Christopia@...1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

Welcome to our world. Yes, it can, and it will go away just as fast and then return, slower to leave every time, quicker to return every time. I'm a 38 year old happily married mom of three girls - and I feel like I'm 95... had a few days where I was doing great, getting optimistic, and now that the cold has started to hit, everything hurts, everything is tired, the best thing to see every day (sometimes two or three times a day) is the BED! If my husband is there, he is just used as a warm,heated body pillow for my aches and pains (poor guy!) I wish I could be me and do the things I always used to do and not feel like an ancient lady... my 11 year old wanted to get me the wheel chair in Wal-Mart the other day because I was in so much pain and could barely walk. Find a good doctor, one that will listen to you and work with you. Keep doing as much as you can... even sometimes, though it hurts... don't give up. There are rainbows - sometimes the rain needs to pass first.
