You are not the only one, Jenny-

I also have high blood pressure majority of the time. My pulse lately has hung around 135!! I think that pain can definitely worsen your b/p and pulse. My first PM Dr said (when it was hanging around 140/ 120) that she'd send me to a cardiologist (which I believe is all they can do) if it continued... the problem, though, with me is that it is high off and on! SO, no one knew what to do.

I have the electrical current pain as well. My PM Dr just brushed it off.

Muscle twitching-- a lot of the time that happens to me- terribly painful and annoying!

Rashes- yes!! That is from RSD.

And as far as your frustrations with doctors- a lot of us have that! They can be totally annoying and tell you horrid things, treat you like you are dirt and not listen to a word you say.

Hang in there!!
