@covidstinks2023 i have not been to pain management I refuse until I have to take; probably the nurse in me seeing too much over 30 years! my pain is more Arthritic at this point and I have severe plantar fasciitis I just live with it and if I walk much sit back down then get up to walk I walk like I’m 90 lol. I was not seen by infectious disease because at the time they only concentrated on Covid and at the time I seen doctor the Covid had come and gone, but yes probably lingering effects. My husband has talked about bringing me to Mayo Clinic for a more thorough evaluation but we don’t really know where to start. I would like to see functional medicine but can’t afford. I’m curious as well about some of the supplements they say help so much, if anyone knows about those please share your experiences. I’ve just kind of quit going to the doctor because I feel like I’m being gaslit most of the time, they know somethings wrong but they can’t put a name to it and /or fix it so they just dont want to talk about it. So I was finally at the point I’m like they will catch it when it gets bad enough and hopefully it’s not lupus or something that prolonging and treating could really hurt me. But then my grandson gets diagnosed at 3 with type 1 diabetes, then my daughter, granddaughter, and grandson get diagnosed with celiac. Then my daughter gets diagnosed with EBV, fibromyalgia, and they are thinking lupus as well. So now we starting on another generation of autoimmune issues and when it’s my kids and grandkids I want to figure it out! So between that and I’ve been getting more sick over time I’m kind of forced to reevaluate and push back on the gaslighting.
