Hello! First, off I'd just like to say that I hate that you guys have to put up with so much. I've been lurking around healthboards for some time and it is really sad to see so many in such pain. I have a couple of questions and was wondering if you guys could help me answer them. I have been having weird symptoms since I was about 16. I am 23 now and I have 3 children. I have various ailments such as migraines, endometriosis, some kind of hip problem or disease that we haven't been able to figure out yet and what I think might be Fibromyalgia. At 18, I starting noticing a dramatic decrease in energy. Now, it takes all that I have just to get up and do the basics of taking care of the house and my kids. I feel so bad because I just don't have the energy to take them to the park or to a playgroup or anythign like that. I get bouts where I am achy all over and where my hands go numb. I just feel sick. I hate feeling like this. I have also been having severe pain in my hips. It feels like my hip joints are rubbing together. I am in Pain Management and I am on the duragesic patch. I take Fioricet for migraines. Anyway, enough about my history. I was wondering what questions should I ask my doc? I go in for a physical on the 16th and wanted to see if some of these things could be addressed. I talked to a doc about feeling this way a couple of years ago but he just said it was because I was pregnant at the time. There were just so many other things to take care of that I haven't gone back to my Family doctor about these symptoms. Could this be Fibro? Or something else? I have a family history or diabetes, could it be that? I guess I will find out soon enough but I guess I'm just needing some support right now. I've been in so much pain lately and I feel so old. I hate this! I'm so sick of waking up every day and not being able to do everything I need to get done. I hate not stimulating my kids as much as I should. I hate being in such a crappy mood all the time. I'm just so tired. Sometimes I just feel so hopeless like I'm always going to feel like this and things are never going to get better. I guess I shouldn't be writing anything while I feel this way but I just need to get it out. Sorry guys if this was TMI. Anyway, I wish everyone a pain free day! Thanks guys! :)
