Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia, Back Pain And Short Term Memory Problem
I have been sick for over ten years. My pain level is 8-10 every day and it is getting harder to do simple tasks. I have RA, fibromyalgia, nueropathy, carpel tunnel with an unsuccessful surgery, water on my knee, daily migrains, sleep apnia and exessive daytime sleepiness. Theses are the things I can remember. My RA doctor tells me my joint inflamation is under control so he sent me to my family doctor to work on the fibro. Nothing is working and I am getting worse by the day. My hands are so painful I hate to use them but do any way, my arms have shooting pains and my palms and fingers cramp up fast. My toes hurt to the point that I do not bend them when I walk, my back always hurts, I find yoga painful and it is hard to get into a standing position but I can not sit for extended periods either. I was told there are several symptoms that mock MS. Can I do anything to fell like I am 53 again. I have also lost my short term memory and have little vision of any quality. I hope you can point me in the right direction for research. . Thank you, Sue
