Hello @4grace, Welcome to Connect. I know it must be frustrating when you have seen so many doctors but have not been able to get to the bottom of what is causing your symptoms and pain. It is possible that there is more than one condition causing your symptoms. You might find the following article helpful.
Why do I feel shaky, weak, and tired? What can I do about it?: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/feeling-weak-and-shaky-and-tired
Have you thought about seeking help at a major teaching hospital or health facility like the Mayo Clinic? If you would like to seek help from Mayo Clinic, contact one of the appointment offices. The contact information for Minnesota, Arizona and Florida can be found here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Mayo doesn’t take Illinois Medicaid.
And if you get financial help from Mayo you have to self pay then they help, well I have no money to
Self pay anything.
I have exhausted my resources and my muscles are waisting away.
My ex husband took me in to caregiver for me in October 2020
I am stuck and yes I need Mayo, the hospitals in Illinois in my 2 hour radius are no help, just stuck and worn out
It’s like my muscle move so much that exhaustion is all I have left
My grandmother went to Mayo in 1983 and back then labeled her as motor neuron because they were not sure and she passed in 1984. But research has labeled it ALS now.
My NP wanted me to go To Mayo But as I said they don’t take Illinois Medicaid
Here at the doctors in Illinois no one will listen to my symptoms they just pass me off to the next person.
Just exhausted is all
Yes I will check that article out
Thanks for your answer
