5 years ago, I was healthy, or so I thought I was, then I had a stroke. From that point and time, everything in my life went into a downward spiral. Before all that I worked 2 jobs to keep me and my kids afloat...and then it seemed after all that I could barely get up out of the bed I was so exhausted. I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and pernicious anemia. My legs give out on me at times. My whole body just seems to hurt almost all the time. Stinging and burning pain in both legs.Nearly to the point I can't stand to be touched. I have chronic headaches, IBS, memory issues pertaining to the stroke too. 2 bulging disk in neck and lower back. My family doctor acts as if she doesn't even want to bother with me and sends me off to other doctors. I have been through 4 Neuro doctors. Each one finding something wrong and then just giving up....which pushes me to the next one. I know I am not crazy....I have been checked for Lupus and MS....Only 2 lesions on the brain...and nothing more since the stroke...and I was told my ANA was normal....Now I am just at a loss......Several people have mentioned Fibro to me......but where do I turn to see if this is what I have or not.
