Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Everyone, I'm Robin and new here. Finally have a probable diagnosis for what's been happening for a long time. It's being guessed that I've had peripheral neuropathy for over 20 years. Earlier was told fibromyalgiia, but that's thought to be negative now. I have been dealing with depression and fatigue greatly. It cost me my job last fall, and I am working as a paraprofessional in the schools, not teaching at this point. It's more physical and I may have to change and leave the field of education, or find a position I can do easier, and well. There's a list of tiny stuff I've dealt with that's all pain related, but it's not important. I've got a new neurologist and doctor and hope this all will be figured out. Dose of neurotin was doubled to 1800mg with tramadol as breakthrough and muscle relaxants, and antidpressants. More stuff than I've been on in years. I go for a nerve conduction/muscle test on Feb 7 and hope for more answers after that and all the blood work comes back. There's always something good every few minutes that I am thankful for which may be tiny, or seeing a sunrise, but it's those little things that add up to an attitude of openness to sharing with others and not isolating myself completely when exhausted after working all day and dealing with the pain.
