My story continues: I was in severe leg and flank pain. I sought out a new general practioner. She believed I has MS. An MRI showed neg for MS. She suggested breathing exercises and relaxation. I tried my hardest but still screamed into a pillow. The worst pain was at night. I was assessed for dehydration and cardiac problems. My daughter found me on my bedroom floor 3 months after initial symptoms. My entire body was in pain. Shooting pain though the flanks and legs. Stabbing in my face. The ER admitted me. I asked that no one speak to the hospital doctor but me. My husband and daughter had been traumatized. So of course they invited my daughter in with the doctor. They just said, "sorry we miss that sometimes, but I'm sure you were really ok with the visit." What could I say. The hospital doctor believed it was the discontinuation of medication caused nerve damage but wanted formal diagnosis from a knowledgeable doctor after discharge. I asked that the hospital refer me to a doctor. They referred me to a PA and a sports medicine doctor. I was prescribed Gabapentin. I did not receive a diagnosis and treatment for a diagnosis for two years
