    I have so many of these☹️ CRPS, Fibromylgia, Sciatica and fusion left me with numb lower legs. Trigeminal neuralgia, Immune mediated, inflammatory, dymyleinating neuropathy confirmed with biopsy and labs. Fibro, Endometriosis. radicuopathy, chronic appendicitis.. yes chronic. Took 12 years to figure it out. Didn’t take me serious until I said I was gonna jump off a bridge…  I’m only 47. Most started at 20. And now I lay here with Covid and feel like I’m dying. Being sick flares all that up. And I work full time (from home thank god) as a RN.

      I’m a year older, everything stems from an accident I had at 23, broke my neck, impact so severe I had arthritis is every joint at 25.. so it just progressively started happening- UNTIL they decided- my quality of life was causing much more problems than anything. Once I was put on medication that worked, I stopped having that really heavy feeling. I wanted to get better, and started pushing myself harder than I ever have- I took myself down without them asking, it was working and when there’s that much trauma to the body it takes 6-7+years just to get in shape, keep yerself there.. and I was, got offered my dream job.. but😔💔 the “Guidlines” came out and it didn’t matter anymore. Allll that work just to end up stuck in bed for 2yrs then the pandemic..  the Opiod “Agenda” IS working, I’m losing more people to pain now than I ever have to addiction😔 I don’t bother going to drs anymore? I know I need a lot taken care of but, they don’t really care I would love to have one day and absolutely no headache- been 24yrs
