First Time and Terrified

Posted by leahknit @leahknit, Oct 22, 2017

Hi my name is Leah and I will be making the journey for the 1st time in a few weeks. I have been battling a pain in my brain since July and have no feeling in my hand and feet as well as many other painful issues. I have spent many weeks in and out of hospital and been diagnosed many times then told they were wrong. I am in so much pain every min of everyday if I could I would live in a hospital for pain management. I am terrified of coming from NY and once again being told they can't fix me, Not to mention just the thought of travel. So I don't know what I'm looking for in this post but if there are any miracle stories out there please let me know. I need my life back please.

I'm so sorry you are hurting so much.I can only suggest,have you seen a good chiropractor?It may be just a pinch nerve in you neck of spine? I'll do some research to see if I find anything.I am a retired nurse working in all medical fields of hospital,nursing homes,home health ,med. ins.exams and other areas. Been retired after 40 yrs.

I do hope sincerely that you find help. Since I don't have any help I will not waste any more of your time.

All I feel is for you to love yourself. You did not ask to be in this condition and lots of know that all of your symptoms are facts. Please surround yourself with supportive people, forget the others for now. Hugs to you, Agent Darien
