[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 167127, member: 1514"] Heather I understand exactly what you are going through and even when you get a supposed diagnosis it doesnt get any better. I walked into my doctors office the other day almost in tears because the pain was so bad and he asked me how I was doing. I told him my legs were killing me. His answer was "Ok, yeah." It was like no S sherlock...your legs, back...whatever are going to hurt...what do you expect...you are sick! He told me that he would be surprised if I wasnt in pain. Wonderful...now...what can we do to help me. Well...not a whole lot except palliative care even though I feel like I am losing my mind and my ability to function. No answers to anything. Just muster along as long as you can basically. It is awful. As the patient you research and hope and beg for some treatment. Maybe you will find something that will help for a time. People have gone into remissions for quite long periods of time. [/QUOTE]
