24/7 UNRELENTING NERVE PAIN FROM MY WAIST DOWN TOT...

I am in pain all the time! It is from my waist,down both legs to the very tips of my toes!...

Posted by feelT2

I am in pain all the time! It is from my waist,down both legs to the very tips of my toes! had polio as a child,almost died,spent months in the IRON LUNG(which did not surface till 1992 but that is another topic) but managed to come out of it with only some spinal,back & leg problems-no permanent paralysis.Although,I was paralyzed for a length of time.
As I aged,my legs began giving me more & more grief.Cramping was quite frequent but only the right leg,knee down.Mid 20s-hip would lock up painfully with rest of leg contorting as a daily occurrence-along with that I had weird sensations on my skin (?wet dripping down.?crawling on me ,stabbings,slashings) all the while with an underlying nagging ache which kept me from sleeping because it always seemed to magnify in intensity from evening 0n.Tossing and turning for 1hour then up and pacing for rest of night -then off to work.
eventually,had to leave work.because the pain just kept increasing over the years and affected my overall health with lack of sleep,nausea,migraines, back pain was also an issue with degenerative disc disease,etc... plus 2legged cramps-hips down-made quite an interesting show when it occurred!!
I am ,finally ,on some medication to help relieve my pain:60mg x2 at 3 Xs /day Plus 8mg Dilaudid up to 3Xs for breakthrough pain. This made a big difference in my life.It allowed me to be able to go out & get a few things done without groaning,out loud,& having to think about actually lifting each foot to take a step.LIFE had become that complicated for me & the PAIN was all consuming. OF course,forgot to say that a few decades have gone by!
Now,my major problem is that I have been on these meds for 1 1/2 years!!! If,any of you have similar dilemna-I would very much appreciate your input. NOW<I KNOW THAT THESE MEDICATIONS ARE ADDRESSING MY NERVE PAIN & I KNOW EXACTLY (well,not quite right-I can only imagine by my past experience without) so I HAVE A VERY GOOD IDEA OF MY SUFFERING W/O MEDS---BUT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS,I HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS PAIN ALL DAY,EVERY DAY.I FEEL LIKE I USED TO FEEL PRIOR TO STARTING THESE !! Again,it has become all consuming/i am pacing again/concentration is poor.... my appetite is nill and nausea is daily-so chewing ginger and my life is on the down swing...
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE ME IDEAS ON HOW TO ALLEVIATE THIS PAIN IF THERE IS SOME METHOD OR CONCOCTION HOME MADE BREW OF YOUR GREAT AUNT'S....pLEASE, I need to find a way to lessen it!

ANYONE?? THANK YOU!!

This must be disconcerting for you!! You must not be able to eat at all & if you manage to get something down-hoping that you will be able to keep it there...This was at start of September,have you been back to your doc to request help-he does not seem very worried while you are suffering!Did he give you any advice on what to do..at all??Did you,previous to this,have problems with acne and facial hair???If,no prior facial hair & all of a sudden there is an increase in testosterone(i think that is the hormone which causes facial hair in women)-then there has to be a reason for these changes within your body and HE-Presume doc is male to show or rather not be concerned with your displayed symptoms at 34 yrs.You must pressure the doctor to run tests!
Can you go to the emergency dept. and tell them that your stomach has been very painful & that you are extremely nauseous,all the time,having problem eating which is severe due to fact that you are DIABETIC!!! That would certainly get the ball rolling,in the right direction-giving you some answers that you dearly need!! I know that no one likes to go there & sit around waiting but if you keep putting this off -The entire matter might very suddenly be taken,out of your hands- if this is SERIOUS- and quickly comes to a head & you have to call for an ambulance,in the middle of the night!!
Still,if you do none of the above,will you consider perhaps doing a CLEANSE.If you know little about cleanses,you,of course,can look up information about this subject.But I believe that you should go to your nearest HEALTH FOOD store and speak to the owner or head person and tell them everything that has been happening with your health lately and ask about a CLEANSE but do not forget to tell them that you are,also,DIABETIC.The people who own & work in these stores are usually very knowledgeable & many have taken courses so that they have the knowledge to help/Hope That I have'nt been too long winded with you & confused the matter!!!View Thread

SO JUST DROP INTO YOUR MOUTH!! Now Like I said ACTIVE at night--which means they probably do---the rice like pcs---come out of your anus--you could ask your husband to try and help you capture a picture--To help prove to your *^<@ GP Or ruin his rep later anyway they have a tendency to come out there to propagate and travel.these worms have been around for centuries.PL GET YOUR DOC TO GIVE YOU THE PILL<NOW BUT at least go get OREGANOL AT HEALTHFOOD STORE NOW WHILE YOU wait to C GP.HANG IN THERE!!!LET ME ME KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.View Thread
