cannot stand still for any period of time
not lifting feet high enough (though I think I do) going up stairs so I trip
sitting hurts after a while and then walking hurts after a while so have to sit
tightness around ribs and shortness of breath sometimes
weak but not painful arms
hands often lose grip and I drop things a lot
dry eyes, dry mouth sometimes
can't sleep from pain because something always hurts
total, complete lethargy, feel like I have no energy at all
Doctors say there is NOTHING wrong with me-one today told me it's STRESS!!!!!!!

Hi ami.....when a doctor tells us "its stress" or "your fine"...its very demeaning and invalidating and frustrating. Most of us here have had that experience more than once. ALWAYS get copies/discs of tests, reports, labs, and dr notes. and keep track of them. Your symptoms could be so many things and might be more than one thing. You just have to keep going until you find a doctor who listens and takes the time to figure it out.
Good luck and keep us up to date.
