Hello. I have to say that you're not alone in this. Cause I too suffering of ankles, hips problems and painfull stomach cramps which come with diarrhea and other symptoms. I'm 34 year old and last year my world just crumble down. I had two good business in insulation which one was in residential and the other in asbestos removal. Of course the doctor check that at ounce but every test came out negative. They couldn't explain why gradually I kept having sharp pain in my legs, ankles, numbness fingers and toes, hips and so on, but the symptoms began in last August, got married in july and three weeks after, I was hospitalized for two weeks because I couldn't walk no more, couldn't hold my self up without having irresistible urge of pain in all my body. They did several tests which were inconclusive and they did also a spinal tap which was performed by a new intern without experience which took him 4 time with the needle before he succeeded extracting the fluid needed . Since then, I steel have nausia if I move side by side to quick, lost of balance easily and the worst his I can't go have a ride in car cause I get really sick, strong headaches, nausia and vomits. So trip for are out of the question, and it's a pain when I have to go to the doctor office.

All this to say I'd have to close my businesses, lost my house, move back with my parents house with my wife and two kids which they had to starts new schools and get a job which before she didn't need at the time, applied for social services for the moment while waiting the Disability Support Program decision with all the paperwork I've provided them with trouble cause all the test done at the hospital has to filled at the archive department and which of course did not have all the information needed at the the time and I'd have to call, fax and get the other paper at the doctor office which themselves was telling me that copies was already sent to the archives department. So frustrating those situation. But at the end the real hope in all of that is when you're kids tells you that no matter what, they're in this with you and you're not alone.

In the hardest time, there always some signs to hang on.

Goodluck to you, keep faith.
