Newbie here, I have been without a computer for the past few years and I know I have a lot to catch up on, sometimes it takes a certain amount of floundering around to determine which questions to ask!
Have only been lurking around for a week of so and have already learned more here and on line in general than in 3 years of trying to obtain answers from Drs.
For example PCP(who has recently left clinic...yay) insisted symptoms in arms were due to nerve entrapment from arthritis in neck, I do have a little of that, had MRI and a course of physical therapy which helped a little but have learned I was right all along, problems are a lot more consistant with neuropathy. Referral to pain clinic also substantiated that but was disbelieved and treated like a hypochondriac for nearly 2 years.
Of course I still COULD be special....denial is the first stage leading to acceptance.
