Hi everyone, I am still in the process of getting a proper diagnosis from my doc. With all the symptoms I have described to him, he is trying to catch me on a flare-up. But all of the posts I have read I find myself nodding to just about every one. I am just turned 37 and I have noticed the the joint pain, sounds ludicrous, since I was about 8 yrs old. I started losing my hair and having hip and left hand pain. Of course telling my parents of my aches and pains, I was always told it was in my head and I was to young to know what I was talking about. I have been having severe chest pain for the last 3 1/2 years and over time the tiredness, rashes, joint pain to include my neck, back, shoulders, jaw, hands, legs, ok every place you can think of, just pure absolute pain. last 6 months hot flashes. Had hormone checks, on thyroid meds had thyroid cancer. Levels are good. Trying to hang in there and keep active but super hard some days. I'm glad I found some place to talk about this. Not many understand the pain level and I as well hate the number system. Can't even begin to describe how it feels day to day. Thank You for the community and listeningView Thread
