Thank you everyone for sharing your information. It is very helpful. I have been going at this for five years and feel like I'm going nuts. Not sure what they will come up with at this point. I have requested an MRI of my spine and no one will listen to me; of course because I'm a patient.

Sally- I'm so sorry you went thru that for such a long time. Owie!! How on earth did you deal with all of it for that long? I hope they come up with something for me. I'm beginning to just lose it. Literally!?!? ((hugs))

Thank you again for your support. I know that everyone at this forum is going thru an awful lot in their lives. This illness is not one that can be taken easily. It is very difficult; emotionally, psychologically and physically- on the person with the illness and their familes/friends. Even though I do not have it/or who knows if I do/not, I am very aware of that. My heart goes out to everyone here. Thinking of you all.
