venting

I'm having some real neurological problems. It first started sometime ago with me taking a nap with my daughter and waking up to my knees being numb. Then it was my knees being numb, and my left thigh numb. This is in addition to my normal aches and pains. Last night, I was in so much pain that...

Hello everyone! I am glad I found this group. I have been feeling lonely in this road. I was diagnosed on July of this year. After many tests it finally came to fibromyalgia...they ran many, many tests since they suspected Lupus first. My mom has lupus and my aunt died of renal failure due to...
