(vanity) desperate over pain - please pray
me | 9/26/20 | me

Posted on 09/26/2020 8:03:09 AM PDT by the OlLine Rebel

Hello again. More complaints about my health!

Since July 14 I've been having unrelenting agonizing issues. Specifically since Aug 1 I've continuously had severe burning, leaden feeling in my arms and shoulders. I'm starting to feel more in my legs too. It seems to tie in with a feeling of sickness, too. I get more and more numbness/tingling in my hands and sometimes feet.

Yes, I've been to lots of doctors/ER. I have lots of "history" as well, which may or may not tie into this Summer 2020 suffering.

Saw a neurologist the other day who put me on Cymbalta, but generally wonders if it's viral. Then yesterday my internist basically dismissed me as if she's done all she can do, and again chalks it up to "anxiety" but said I might want to check with infectious doc or Hopkins internists.

This is just plain debilitating, and I honestly don't believe anxiety would do this much to me (though indeed, I've had a trying 9 months, compounded by this political year from hell). I'm a headache person, and to some extent bowels.

It's getting hard to type even at a full desktop like this.

Anyone have some ideas, or prayers?

Ideas about anything from Dx, to what kind of doctor, to specific doctors. We've had lots but still like to hear.

CBD oil or marijuana. CBD oil helps with my joint pain. A few drops under the tongue, hold for a minute, chase with juice
Many chronic pain sufferers use weed because it has double the effect

Cymbalta can help nerve pain. So can gabapentin. Also have you been checked for any autoimmune issues such as fibromyalgia. Usually the doctor or immunologist will do a sedimentation rate, ANA and some other blood tests.People with diabetes can have a lot of “nerve pain” too. These are just suggestions only. I will pray for you and for you to meet the right doctor.

Some generally harmless supplements for neuropathy:

https://www.healthline.com/health/neuropathy-supplements#b-vitamins

I take all of these regularly but the NAC. Consider time or sustained release version of Alpha Lipoic Acid and NAC (we use a Jarrow version of each). For curcumin, we use “Doctor’s Best Curcumin From Turmeric Root with C3 Complex & BioPerine, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Joint Support, 1000 mg.” That was found to be the best for the price by ConsumerLab.com

I would try these and see if you favorably respond. There are other supplements for neuropathy, so if these help, I can dig deeper.

My wife had neuropathy some years back and had the nerve needle testing done. She really had it. Supplements fixed it.

Prayer is the best remedy. Pray for wisdom to listen for an answer.
I am praying for you to have healing of your soul and body. Often times it comes together.

Try a nutritional and herbal pain reliever supplement like Relief Factor or Curamin, or try medical marijuana patches. As a wild guess, it sounds like you may have internal shingles.

Stress from the political scene can impact your well-being. Maybe gone on a political detox. I know it’s hard to do, but that might help with some of your symptoms.

It might be worth trying a carnivorous diet for a while to see if it brings you relief. I found that all of my aches and pains melted away once I restricted by daily net carb intake to less than 20 grams per day.

Once doctor give up you have to take over, they have abandoned you to uour death. Get that in your head or die.

There is a possibility it is Lyme disease, Lyme is known as the great pretender as it attacks random parts of your body and does not have a standard set of symptoms.

ITo eliminate lyme buy cryptolepsys extract and sida acute extract from Amazon. Take both twice a day along with turmeric extract capsules.

Within a week if you see results continue the protocol for a minimum of 90 days and spend that time reading everything on the Kentucky lyme association website.

I had severe heart problems, turned out to be lyme. Above protocol saved my life.

Cryptolepsys is a liquid extract, sida acuta is a powder.

Don’t underestimate anxiety exaggerating underlying conditions.

I was able to help a disabled vet with very similar symptoms who had been written off as just anxiety. Look at nutritional supplements and anxiety reduction.

Can your neurologist or internist set you up at Hopkins? It can be a lot easier for them to get appointments made than doing it yourself. You have my prayers!
