i am 41 years old and in 2003 i got dizzy one day and went to the er they said that i had the flu to go home and gave me some theraflu. a week later in happened again only it was worse and i could not walk. i went to the er again they said you have the flu. go home rest take your medication. so a few days later i woke up with a crick in my neck i could not turn my head and i felt really bad but i did not go to the doctor just figured i slept wrong then one morning i woke up and got out of bed and i hit the floor i could not walk.

my mom took me back to the er but when we got the i could feel nothing from my head to my feet i was paralized. i spent 3 days in the hospital and seen alot of doctors finally they came in and said that 1 out of 1000 people could not be diognosed and i was 1. since then i have migraines almost everyday and i woke up and my entire body hurt. one doctor said ra the next said fibro myalga [fibromyalgia] or lupas [lupus]. then i went to a new doctor and he said i had neoropathy [neuropathy]. i have taken so many pain pills nothing helps. i hurt in my sleep and i hurt during the day all day. i dont know what is going on but i feel like i am dying. family members dont understand. sometimes i just sit and dont talk because i dont want to burden them with another day of my problems. i am at a dead end as what to do. this living with pain like this is terrible. no one understands. is there anyone else like me?
