shirley29485, do you ever read Medical Mysteries https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/medical-mysteries/
They solve them all, sometimes after many years of suffering. After a thousand doctors, you might meet one that says--oh, yes. I've seen this before. I hope the suffering part of your story can end.

shirley29485, I'm so sorry. Praying for you right now. God Bless you and give you relief. Blessings....

@shirley29485 You have never found a doctor who was able to diagnose you and treat your pain? Have you been able to go to a comprehensive medical center or a university hospital? The doctors there have extra education, research, and on-going education. Please try to call one in your city or state and explain your great need. Do you have anyone who helps you? Maybe they can help with finding the comprehensive hospital.
Can you try to find a hospital and get help for yourself?
Please keep me in the loop-I really care.
Becky

Shirley,
I'm so sorry to hear of your terrible situation! How awful for you!

Do you take iron tablets? Iron will help with fatigue. Also eating foods with iron in them helps too such as steak, hamburger, beans etc. Gently's suggestion about the Medical Mysteries sounds like it might help you and also Becky's suggestion of finding a major hospital and trying to get help there would be useful.

Prayer also works. Just talk to God and ask for his help. He made you and he can fix you! I'll say a prayer for you too.
I wish you the best.

@shirley29485
I’m sorry to hear of your suffering. What have you been diagnosed with and how are you currently being treated for your symptoms/conditions? Do you have a support system in place and are you getting counseling to help you cope?

@shirley29485 I saw the posting you made in a different discussion so I’m answering you in this discussion.

I would recommend that you try a comprehensive medical center and ask for a referral to a pain management doctor. You should try to get help for yourself!
Will you let me know what you are able to find out?

I’m so sorry. It’s terrible to get up every day feeling this way. I echo Becky - has the doctor that sees you the most referred you to a pain management specialist? Also, a counselor who specializes in treating patients with chronic illnesses can be very helpful as well. Rest, diet, stress-management all factor into well being when managing a chronic illness as well. It seems like you're overwhelmed right now, but I’m wondering if you have any specific questions that someone in the group might be able to answer you with regarding what’s going on?

Taking iron supplements if you're not anemic is dangerous. It can cause heart and liver damage, and will also interfere with absorption of other minerals.

@jdnc2023 I never knew about iron pills being dangerous. Where did you get this information from?

I have known it for many years, so I don't recall exactly how I knew it. A google search on the topic will bring up a lot of information. https://www.google.com/search?q=taking+iron+if+you+don%27t+need+it&oq=&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgLEEUYOxjCAzIJCAAQRRg7GMIDMgkIARBFGDsYwgMyCQgCEEUYOxjCAzIJCAMQRRg7GMIDMgkIBBBFGDsYwgMyCQgFEEUYOxjCAzIJCAYQRRg7GMIDMgkIBxBFGDsYwgMyCQgIEEUYOxjCAzIJCAkQRRg7GMIDMgkIChBFGDsYwgMyCQgLEEUYOxjCAzIJCAwQRRg7GMIDMgkIDRBFGDsYwgMyCQgOEEUYOxjCAzIRCA8QABgDGEIYjwEYtAIY6gIyEQgQEAAYAxhCGI8BGLQCGOoCMhEIERAAGAMYQhiPARi0AhjqAjIRCBIQABgDGEIYjwEYtAIY6gIyEQgTEAAYAxhCGI8BGLQCGOoC0gEGLTFqMGo3qAIUsAIB8QUvLvYqT0XpOA&client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#ip=1&sbfbu=1&pi=taking%20iron%20if%20you%20don't%20need%20it
