HI All......Thank you for all the encouragement and information about nerve damage. I'm going to start walking each day. I used to do that before I started feeling so bad. I take Lyrica for pain but it's not covering it well....and it's making me gain weight.....that's another thing that's really killing me!...besides the worry and depression.
My bariatric surgeon has a nutritionist that works with his patients and I have taken all the vitamins and had the blood work every 6 months as required after the surgery.....every thing has always looked good! I thought "I" was doing good! I had NO idea I was getting sicker and sicker each day......till this past Feb. when I started having the terrible aching and feeling like I had NO energy at all! I was trying to work each day (I work in a Special Education Life Skills classroom and it's a very demanding job!) and then I started missing 1 day a week because I just couldn't put one foot in front of the other!
Anyway.....now I have to get well......or at least feeling better so I'm better able to cope.
I've been going to counselor for the past month.....but after seeing her today I've decided not to see her any more. I might try a different counselor....I don't know at this point.
Thank you to everyone who posted today......it's SO nice to know that there's people out there who understands this pain and what I'm going through. I'll see my Rheumatologist on Monday ......with my husband who is SO great with all of this.......and I'll let y'all know what I find out! Roxie
