I have been told that I'm not normal also. I had a wonderful PA for the first 5 years of my medical issues and he told me that I would make a great College study.

As far as the ribs, I have pain in my right rib area. I have been told it was RSD and scar tissue from having my gall bladder removed and from having shingles years ago.

I don't think anyone gets the gist of how much pain we are in. I was just telling Diana that. I don't think the pain we deal with is explainable to the extent we need it to be somehow. If that makes any sense.

I hope that you start feeling better and that you get to see a good Dr. here soon to help you through this. It's sure not something we can seem to get through with Advil like your family is thinking.

Maybe you could let them read some of what we all write on here and it might help them understand.
