Hello, I have subscribed to the forum only to comment on your post.

Because of your multisystemic ailments, the fact that you say your foot
pain got worse after steroids and living in MA tell me that you need to checked
out for Lyme disease by a specialist.
Going to a non-Lyme specialist for this diesease is like going to a dentist for
brain surgery. Please visit and post in the "seeking doctor"
forum so that someone from MA can recommend a LLMD (lyme literate doctor).
The standard screening test for Lyme (ELISA) is about 50% sensitive and this
number is lower if the disease is chronic. You need to have western blot done
at a lag that specializes in tick borne illnesses such as Igenex so that your
LLMD can look for specific Lyme igm/igg antibodies.

I have had almost the same symptoms as you (neuropathy, stomach problems, ellergies, mood swings, eye pains etc.) and am doing much much
better after seeing a LLMD doctor.

Again, please don't leave this stone unturned. You would not believe how
many go around with "autoimune" dieases, yet have bacterial/viral infections
at the source of the problem.
