Hi, my name is Stacey and I have been suffering from chronic back pain for approximately seven years. I also suffer from major depression and GAD. I have been to countless doctors, both general medical doctors, specialists and psychiatrists since 2005. Although I have seen so many doctors and have received so much testing (including blood work for almost everything and two MRIs on my back), no one knows what is causing my back pain. About two years ago, I developed another chronic problem. I now suffer from continuous nerve twinges (it feels like the sensations you get when your foot, for example falls asleep) that started out in my feet and arms and eventually spread throughout my entire body. The tingling, pins and needles, nerves vibrating out of my body sensations nearly drove me to the point of suicide. I had to make an emergency call to my psychiatrist, who reluctantly prescribed me Xanax, which luckily has been the only drug able to alleviate these symptoms. Unfortunately, my doctor was forced to close her practice due to illness and now I can not find a doctor that will prescribe the Xanax to me or help me with my situation (I am currently unemployed and living with my mom and have no money or insurance). What could possibly be causing my horrible CNS symptoms? I am running out of time, as I am on my last Xanax script and have no new doctor that can help me.
