My health is deteriorating

You sound so much like me right now. Everytime I go to the doctor lately things seem to get worse. I was just diagnosed with carpel tunnel arthritis in my neck and lower and back and I am scheduled for an MRI because of numbness in my legs and feet. I already had fibromyalgia, depression, chronic headaches, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. I still want to think I can make some of this better. I am trying an eating program called Great Taste No Pain which claims to help with digestive problems (including IBS). I hope it helps some but above all even though I do have the depression and anxiety I still try to keep a positive attitude and I try to do some activity (painful as it is) every day. I hope and pray that you can find some relief for yourself.

Poor dear lagirl, i am so sorry to read about your bad health and how much you are suffering . I only wish i was in your country and near to you so that i could be of some help to you. Unfortunately i am situated very far away and the only thing i can do is pray to God for you ans ask Him to remove or at least reduce your pain and suffering. May God bless you with good health.

To be honest lagirl, I think there's something going on that we don't know about. Something with our government and their secrets that has to do with all of us getting sick and not knowing why or where the symptoms came from to begin with. I'm not well either, I have lupus which affects every joint in my body. I'm in constant pain but I do my best to deal with it. I take enough damned pills every day as it is, I don't want to add anymore. But sweetie, I feel for you! I really do!! Please call your lawyer often to be sure that they're doing their job and expediting your case because you need help NOW not tomorrow....

I know it's very hard to be upbeat when your in so much pain all the time and every time you turn around something else on your body is breaking or in need of repair. I live with pain everyday from osteoarthritis, bursitis, and fibromyalgia, and recently neuropathy. I realized that I could let this pain control me and be sad and flusterated or I go at it with a sense of humor and a positive thought process. I decided to do the later and when I wake up each morning I set small goals for myself, one painful step at a time. I allow myself to rest in the mornings until I loosen up with my pills and vitamins. I then see if I can do my chores which are dishes and laundry and if I am having an ok day I throw in another small task. If I am sick that day I go rest and watch TV and think about all the good things I do have and what my pluses are everyone has minuses I just choose to let my pluses stand out more than my minuses. One thing that I am toying with is getting a wheelchair and when I have to be out shopping and in an out of the car I can use the wheelchair to save my energy and my feet for when I get home. A small trip to the store can wipe me out for the whole day if I'm not careful. I hope you get a little bit better and just know that I will be sending you positive thoughts as much as possible.

hi lagirl1966 a lot of us are in the same boat, by fructose intolerance do you mean you have diabetes? if so there are so many new medications, and so much new information out there that you should be able to easily control your diabetes, that being controlled will help control your irritable bowel syndrome. you are stressed and that works against allyour physical complaints.even in mylotting you need to avoid stress.exercise every day,it will be good for all your many complaints.if you can lose even just fifteen pounds you will find that controlling your blood sugar 'will be much much easier and that may make your other complaints ease u p too. good luck and 'God bless.

I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time. I wish I could give you some advice to help you feel better. I also have some health issues that are terrifying me at the moment. I have to go to the doctor next week, which is causing me to have panic attacks. Life is scary sometimes. I think all we can do is live for the good moments!
