Work isn't Working

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Yesterday I finished my second day back to work. The first day wasn't

too bad. BUT... after yesterday I was litterally crippled.

I went to bed with two muscle relaxers. They didn't do a thing.

I got out of bed this morning with every inch of my body in pain.

Same old...same old!!

The legs achng...thighs sore...feet feel like they are broken...upper

arms throbing..wrists and hands feeling stiff.

I see the doctor next Wednesday. I have today and tomorrow off from

work and I fear I will not recover enough to get by working Friday

and Saturday. I know my doctor will tell me I can't work..but I only

have 5 weeks of disability left plus some vacation time left this

year till January.

I don't know what to do other than tell my doctor I want a

specialist.....but that isn't going to cure me....nor can they fix my

work situation.

I have read so many of your stories of how you lost everything due to

this illness. I feel like I am on the same oneway road.

Just feeling helpless and unable to know where to begin with this

mess.

Does anyone feel that the flare-ups first comes on with your

back...and then as hours pass on it spreads to the rest of your body?

I feel it started yesterday with my back and quickly my upper thighs

and calves started to throb. AFter I got home I could feel my writs

and arms hurt...and then the fingers got stiff..and this morning my

ankles and feet joined in. Is there something about it starting with

my back?

Thank for listening
