I'm so blessed to have come across this. I've been dealing with so much these past 7 yrs but it wasn't until about 8 months ago things have really been falling apart for me... health wise. I couldn't eat or drink for 3 months, i was in so much pain if i ate/drank anything. After many,many test they say I have acid reflux. I've lost over 30 lbs. I still cannot eat many things or drink for that matter. I don't drink alcohol (8 yrs alcohol free), don't smoke, don't drink pop or carb drinks, I still have major pain with food. About 2 months ago things got worse. I lose feeling in my legs and feet. I started with pain in my left fingers that felt like pins and needles that move up my arm into my neck. I drop things, fall, have chronic pain in my lower back. I have joint/muscle pain. Some days are good and some days I can't walk,sit, stand or move. I had my thyroid check (came back fine), I had xray on left fingers (came back fine), blood work(all came back fine), MRI (came back fine), blood work to check for cancer ( yes, once again, came back fine). My family/kids don't understand the pain that I am in sometimes. They don't understand at times I'm so hungry and want to eat but if I have to chose between eating and suffering or not eating and being hungry... I chose to be hungry because the pain is unbearable. Oh, my gall-bladder was fine also. I'm almost lost for words, not wanting to give up hope but things seem to be getting worse, with no answers. I can't take pain meds because of my terrible digestive problems. I'm constipated most of the time, NOTHING helps. I'm not sure anymore whats worse, not knowing what is wrong with me OR finding out what is wrong and then ... not being able to deal with the fact that ... there is no hope.                                                                                           Not giving up, hopeless, but yet still hopeful!!!!! God bless.
