Starting to get a little scared
I have not been postoing much because I just have so much on my mind these days. You may remember we are moving the end of July. You may also remember back when I first joined That I had been having sciatic pain and arm and shoulder pain. Well my pain is much much worse. My hands and feet go numb. My hands and feel also feel like I dropped something heavy on them and they feel this way ALL the time. I have tender spots all over my body. I have to have an MRI of my brain this Sat to rule out MS. That is so scary! Also I have to go see another doc on the 17th because if its not MS the doc thinks I may have something called Fibromyalgia. Plus I have another lump on my shoulder blade that I have to have emoved on the 24th. I had one removed back in Oct. They told me its very odd for me to keep geting these in such a weird part of my body. All this and we are to be going home for the 4th of July and staying for a week or more plus moving! I am sooo stressed! Just wanted to let you all know. Thanks for reading all this! Hope you are all well and have a nice summer.

{{{Trisa}}} Thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am sending hugs and prayers, too.
Keeping you in my prayers.
I am not a dr, BUT my mother did have MS. The symptoms you describe really could go either way. However I would lean more toward firbromylgia because of the pain. I know MS can present itself differently, but typically pain is not involved. But let me reassure you some. My mother was dx in 85 or so, she had symptoms since the early 70's, so they have come along way. She lived a very full and productive life, she just had some mobility issues. There are lots of great treatments available out there and a cure hasn't been found, but each day it seems they are getting close. Good luck and keep us posted.
My thought and prayers are with you Trisa. Keep us posted.
My dr thinks I have FIbormyalgia too- and maybe Lupus... Not fun.
