Default Still searching...

After months of visiting various Doctors...having looks at me as if I'm crazy...and trying to do it without drugs...I was finally told I may have 'polyneuropathy'. What does that mean???

I'm finally trying Gabapenin along with too many other meds (synthroid, diltiazam, coumadin, B12, vit D & fish oil). I have another exam tomorrow and hope for help from this horribly painful mess!

From my hips down to toes: cramping + 'pins & needles' + 'electric pepper' + tingling + Burning + Freezing. Even my face, scalp, belly, & hands get involved with this horror! I've missed so much sleep through this that I drag around too much...push myself to keep doing all the chores, yet often feel I'm not thinking clearly.

Other problems are: atrial fibrillation, degenerative disc disease in my neck, buldging discs in my spine, and osteo arthritis.

"GROWING OLD IS NOT FOR SISSY'S"

Blessedly, my loving husband has supported me through this.
