You're going to have to narrow down the pain. It's possible that you have more than one thing going on.

that otc stuff that turns your pee easter egg yellow will head it off for awhile

What is it?

I have a number of medical issues, several which appeared after another medical thing. It took great gobs of complaining and pain over 20 years for drs to find out what it was and they weren't the first to know. I figured it out and presented my paper which they contemplated till I arrived in an ambulance nearly dead.

My point is keep trying. If you don't like the doctor fire him and get another. It's tough enough to figure out one's health problems without have to deal with a lousy doctor.

**You’re going to have to narrow down the pain.**

That’s what they keep telling me—my symptoms are too vague. I don’t have any of them until “this” starts. They get off on tangents—Have you had a physical lately? Blah, blah, blah. Ok. I had a physical and I still feel like doodoo. Pick again. It’s so frustrating. They treat me like I’m a retarded 2 year old. Hey—I’ve lived in this body for 40+ years! I know when it’s not right!

I think Kalee has pointed me in the right direction. :)

The stuff I was talking about is called AZO. I usually keep some around, but I goofed and didn’t get any more when I should have.

**till I arrived in an ambulance nearly dead**

The pain creeps up on me gradually, until I don’t notice how bad it’s gotten. I hate heat—can’t deal with it at all because I don’t sweat. Had my thyroid checked—said it’s fine. The first time I got this stuff, i did not realize how sick I was. I went out to my car at lunchtime, in the middle of July, because I was cold, literally shivering. I got in, with the windows up, and went to sleep/passed out. This is eastern NC we’re talking about! My boss came out to my car and insisted I go to the dr. He probably saved my life. :)
