Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I hope the next part of this process can provide you with a better diagnosis and some resolution to what sounds like ongoing problems. I am also living proof that a second opinion can save your life.

I was in a car accident in 2004. I asked my doctor repeatedly if I needed an MRI, and she kept telling me "No". I took three months off work, but when I returned, I would get screaming headaches after about 4 hours. So I finally got another opinion, and that doctor immediately sent me in for an MRI. A piece of vertebrae in my neck had broken and was pressing on my spinal cord. They took me by ambulance to Harborview in Seattle where I had surgery to fuse my neck. I'm lucky because four months had gone by with my walking around with a broken neck.

Hang in there, Cindy! We're all here for you!

Quote from cwhetme :
After 20 years of Drs "guessing" what is wrong with me and the ones that feel it is possibly an auto immune response I finally got an out of state DR ( from Cali) to give me the closest thing to a diagnoses I have had. ALL my symptoms hit at once and he ran kidney and liver tests and the numbers were off the charts!!!! Most Auto immune disorders like Lupus and Lyme and MS only show up during a flare up. My usual Dr told me I had veinous insuffuciencey and ordered old lady stockings and water pills. I went in on her day off and got the new guy. I told him the water pills dont work even when I doubled them and he got worried. I told him drinking a pot of extra strong coffee worked alot better so thats why he ordered the kidney tests and they found trouble. I go next Monday to find out what the tests results mean.
Theyve suspected Lupus for years and I have to exfoliate and moisturize my face daily or it gets flakey and I did have Lymes disease when I was trapsing all over the mountains around Seattle in the 80's (stupid ticks!) but theyve also thought it was reumalogical too. With a diagnosis they can treat it!!!!
On the plus side its not the veinous insufficiency (told them as much) but it took my kideys failing to finally get somewhere. Maybe now I can finally get rid of the pain and other symptoms so I feel really good about it


Oh, yeah, 70's version of the rave!!! LMAOLMAO

Sorry you've had to put up with that for so long
I know someone else that is going through the same thing

Getting a diagnosis is good news
how there is a treatment to get you on the road to recovery
