I'm a shallow breather, chest won't expand to get enough air for deep breath. I have Fibromyalgia and a strange, unidentified condition that makes my entire left side have tingling and deep inner tension, with a novacaine feeling on my face and sometimes drooping of corner of my mouth and eye. I have cervical vertigo and a C5-6 bulging disc. Chronic low back pain and recently had injections in SI joint a couldn't walk upright but swayed like a duck due to extreme pain.
I use vitamins and have tried alternative medical help. Not getting better. Neck pain so severe that is causing left shoulder and down to elbow severe pain. Wearing prescription pain patches that barely take the edge off the pain. I have low blood sugar attacks that make me sweat, nauseated, dizzy, and sometimes intestinal problems.
It seems the chiropractor is making my pain worse rather than fixing it. I've had every kind of test for MS and sometimes my blood tests positive for autoimmune diseases like Sjogrens or Scleroderma but no one has diagnosed this strange condition.. If anyone has had similar symptoms and has any advice, please share. If there is a medical person who can comment, please do. I feel defeated with the medical profession as they don't seem to care much. And I feel easily defeated as this has been going on for years and I have developed more symptoms as I've gotten older. The numbness and tingling along with deep agitation on the left side comes and goes. It has lasted as long as 6 months and then retreated as long as a year. But I always seem to have remnants of it lurking around and just talking about it makes me aware of it. So with all of this I don't sleep through the night and get up feeling like I'm having a heart attack and have been beat up. Thank you for any interest.View Thread
