Hello curezone folks,
This is my first post and as the title says I am in need of help.
Some 15 years ago I started having strange, painful and scary things happen to my body.
Muscle soreness/pain/spasms/twitches
Numbness/tingling in hands and feet
Headaches/TMJ
IBS/mucus/ ocassionaly blood in stools.
Protien/blood in urine.
Also at the onset of all of this I had a terrible prostate/ut infection that wouldn't clear up. When they finally tested it they found it was a type of strep which my doctor said was very unusual.
After a more than a year of dooctors and tests I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I was put on anti-inflammatories, pain meds, pepcid, paxil, and ocassionaly steroids.
After another year of docs and meds I stopped seeing the doctors and I quit taking the meds and decided to manage and live with my condition.
Twice in the last 7 years I have been hospitialized for intense pain in my left side and hip. I was diagnosed as having kidney stones, but I have never passed a kidney stone, and yes, I strained my urine trying to catch them.
Now in that same time span (7 years) I have also had two bouts of very intense abdominable cramps which greatly increased with the need to poop. I would have pain all the time, in fact it hurt to walk or even move, but when the urge to poop hit me that pain would greatly increase. It would feel like I was about to give birth to a baby, but I would expel very little feces and it always had a lot mucus with it. At times I have also noticed white specs in my stool.
To wit, I am having one of those bad spells now, and moreover, I've never been comfortable with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
My hope is that maybe someone here can shed a little light as to what they think my problem might be and what course of action I should take.
I beg your pardon if this has been too long of a post, but I felt I should give as much info as prudent.
I thank you ahead of time for any advice or help you can give.
