Can't Cope

[emmie]

with this,
my joints are seizing up, which happened over two years ago, not enough fluid now in knee joints, which are somewhat red, crack constantly, permanent redness around the top of chest area, nape of neck, and both sides of neck, lightly touch face bridge of nose, neck and it crackles like popcorn, also its like an ear echo chamber as when i scratch my head or face even lightly, try talking to docs but they don't see to think its anything serious.
when i sit feel tingly, burning pain in knees, same for wrists.
i would never normally be in this time of day, now can't see to feel this is going to get better, looked back over notes i made over the last 2 and half years, nothing makes any sense.

[emmie]

that is why i have been back and forth, other than the neurologist who suggested small peripheral neuropathy, she thought at first i might have shingles, then perhaps diabetes, see what i mean, the list as they say could be endless.
the clinic guy said that herpes can make you feel rotten, attacking lots of places.

Have you considered writing it all down and sending it to one of the media doctors. The Daily Mail doctor has a Q&A on a Wednesday.

If nothing else he may be able to point you in the correct direction. He may have more time to sit and read your symptoms and have time to think about it.

[emmie]

i have tried with friends, family, no use, because its not their problem, and they can't really ultimately help.

wolf, my mother suggested that, they must get thousands of letters.....

thank you, will look into it, have booked another gp appointment.
belly button redness i discover can be a fungal infection, so will have to discuss that too, tongue feels like yellow sandpaper, so maybe that is part of the answer yeast infection,

[emmie]

wish they would bring back all women hospitals, clinics, like the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, that was a very good hospital, now part of UCH<

I'll bet you a pound to a penny all these symptoms you describe are indicative of Lupus .Go back to your GP and insist he tests you for it .

I'm so sorry for your illness and distress em xxx

[jennyjoan]

I am sure you have done this - since some Abers think you may have LUPUS - why don't you google and see if your symptoms match. Good luck

[lady-janine]

just read this right through and agree with abers who feel it my be lupus. please try to find the energy for one more go at a&e . gness and i agree on that one, with or without a friend. just sit there and refuse to go home, etc until they do something positive. good luck.

Emmie I was just looking up benefits of Omega 3 - which I take every day as it has so many different things it helps with.
Saw this
Omega-3 fish oil reduces the severity of symptoms in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
I know we are just guessing with what problems you have but couldn't do any harm to try this supplement.

emmie - are you out there somewhere?

Sometimes life feels like a long journey through thick snow - tiring and pointless. But we get there in the end.
