Should we complain? I can close my windows and be myself... the person I really am. I am definitely not like the majority as far as interests go. I guess I need to find a way to deal with chronic weakness and pain and try to be as healthy as I can be. Any suggestions? :smile:

    Are you saying because usually no one sees you, it doesn't matter how unhealthy you are?

    ..... well I have a lot of weakness and burning in my muscles so although I WISH I could do more...even normal daily activities, a lot of times it is next to impossible and I use to be very pretty and in great shape at one time. I will see neurologist in October. I feel like a huge bruise everywhere. It makes me sad I look like I do. My body cries for me? I try to be happy and sing. Today I was dancing on my exercise ball as I watched music videos on YouTube :blushing:

    ..... no, but I just feel like I am stuck inside...no car...rough neighborhood. And I guess I don't fit in ANYWHERE....not even in church. Lol...maybe the moon ha ha

    Why do you have to wait until October to see a specialist? It sounds like you need one now, not 5 months from now. :cry:

    Chronic pain and isolation can lead to depression. Maybe seeing a therapist while you wait could help you cope better with your health issues. :flowerforyou:

    I also think joining the MFP community is a good first step. There are always people on here willing to talk and offer support (: About your pain, I would try to find a way to figure out what's going on sooner than later.

    :brokenheart: not sure....I feel like the real me is gone.....lost....like I am dead sometimes. I use to could walk for HOURS...and I loved that. I don't have insurance so in order to get help I'm on a waiting list. Sometimes my legs don't work and I have fallen. Weird. Lately it is getting a little bit better though. I feel like random cigarrets burn me almost anywhere without expecting it. I just don't want to spend the rest of my life this way and pain all the time has given me high blood pressure and I take a pill for it. Plus I have to take a thyroid pill .

    Can you get someone to drive you to an emergency room? They have to see you, then, don't they?

    ....well, I tried, but it didn't help cause it didn't solve anything, and then they make you talk about ALL KINDS of stuff you would rather NOT lol!!! You end up saying what they WANNA hear. Yep. I would drink a huge margarita, but that WOULD BE A BAD idea. Oh wait...hmmmm ha ha ha. That's a thought.....but my liver is not in good shape for too many pain killers so....better not. I just enjoy singing sometimes....that's therapeutic :laugh: I sleep while husband is at work and hear him snore like a bear all night. My "friends" at church don't wanna be bothered by me and so there we are....I've changed shifts. I cannot sleep unless its VERY QUIET and freezing cold so I can use a lot of pillows and blankets :-) I wish landlord would let me have a kitty. Yep

    well actually my husband COULD, but it does no good and then we end up with a huge pile of bills for nothing. I wish that could expedite things.
