[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 166994"] Simply put, I cannot live like this anymore. I am in too much pain and the pain, weakness and fatigue are simply too debilitating. I understand that I don't have a diagnosis yet and that makes it worse. We at least need to start treating some symptoms. Other than 500mg Naproxen twice a day (which does not a damn thing for the pain) and the occasional steroid taper, nothing is being treated and I am getting worse by the day. Something has got to give. I am a single parent and I can't financially support my family right now. And now my daughter is really suffering and I NEED to be able to be there for her. So today, I lay it out with the doctor. I am no longer willing to do weeks in between each appointment without a diagnosis and/or treatment. This has been going on for far too long and we've had several doctors in the picture. I don't care if they don't know what it is. Try something. Treat the symptoms. Just do something. Wish me luck.
