WOW..Hello everyone,I never imagined that I would find such a place that answered more questions for me that the doctors have.  I have been suffering with this debilitating pain going on 6yrs. and I am so tired and I know my husband is 2. He has just taken over the house and made sure that I and our son was taken care of, the best he could. I thank God 4 him and his love.:)  I have all of the basics of symptoms here( if you can call it basic..NOT) I do have most, if not all of the symptoms that have been mentioned and so I am not going to mention them all (I am sure, I will forget something anyway..yes, another ugly symptom.:) I do have numbness(mine is on my face and head,but it started on my left side mostly) and I find that it is like someone drew a line down the middle of my body and it takes over completely of my left side to where I can't even move my left arm and leg at all(like it is paralysed, is that MS?) I do have a low vitamin D level(19) and they have me on 50,000 IU 2x a week for 8 weeks then be re-checked for my levels. I hate to say it, but I feel better from the numbness, but the pain is agonizing..argh!!! I have experienced these symptoms that is felt all over my body: burning skin, weakness,pins/needles,soreness(feels like I have been beat by a bat all over, even my head feels bruised all over),for a long time with feelings of being stabbed or like someone has left an axe in the middle of my back( my old NL found a place in the middle of my back,but he didn't know what it was and said it was out of his area of expertise) Could it be a lesion?..MS or Devics disease? I am curious because I really haven't recieved a correct dx, I don't think as of yet. They have dx'd me with DDD or Cervical,lumbar & Hip/Joint,Spondylosis,AVM( in which, they don't think is the problem, but I hurt there a lot),Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Fibro(of course) and there are more, but unfortunately there is something they are leaving out,as bad as I hate it to say that. I don't feel that I have ALL of this, although not sure(I could, I guess), but I do know that I am utterly miserable and am not a doctor, but something is bad wrong. This pain is relentless and excruciating...very debilitating like everyone else here is. I am plagued with an array of symptoms with blurry vision that is the newest and sometimes the scariest and I have eye pain that feels like pressure behind my eyes,pains in my head(with confusion,irritability,can think or a brain fog). I do have something going on that I don't know if it is connected or not, but feel it is, since it seems to get worse after I get out in the sun.(Lupus?) I'm having these bumps that I have noticed appearing and wonder if I do have some kind of Autoimmune disease because these little papules or pestules(pimple-like formations) mostly on my thighs,upper arms and some show up on my face,mostly on the sides of my nose,chin and between my eyebrows.They aren't bad now, but they once were really prominent and are slowly trying to come back,it seems.This makes me think something is wrong that is causing it.(I am 45, not a teenager:) I have noticed knots on my head that are different than the other places. They are strange and feel more like a blood clot, they are not the boils, they are different,more under the scalp, but they are just on my head. I know, I may not have covered everything, but you get it that I am scared here and IT is a lot, I know. It is just down right hard and now that the past two years, I have become more reliable on my bed (a lot of my time anyway), because I can't stand for long periods,if I do my back will burn like FIRE (there is a place...a lesion? that is unrecognized in my Thoracic). Something is wrong and it isn't just some simple fix. I have read most of you have MS,but is there anyone with these symptoms that is dealing with parkinson's disease? The reason,I am bringing that up is because my left arm has a shake to it that I noticed seems to be more of an issue if I use it more than when I don't, but it shakes either way sometimes..I donno. I am taking some strong medicines for my pain and I don't like doing that. I don't even like to take a motrin for a headache, but my pain level can out of the roof sometimes and it is unbelievable torment that lives with you in one way or another because you never know what to expect from one day to another. I know most of you here are experiencing it, I can tell and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless you all...always.  <3 Karen PS.Sorry this was so long, forgive me.
