I was sick for close to two years. I had excellent doctors who cared and tried their best. There were days where I was literally lying in bed because I was in so much pain. Despite that, the worse pain by far was not knowing what was wrong with me. That took it's toll more than anything. If someone said killing a puppy was the cure I would have done it in a heart beat. It's not something you can ever really understand until you live it for days, weeks, months, years...
- pas 2y agoUuh, crap. How did you get better? Any guess what was it?
- thinkingtoilet 2y agoThanks for asking. I did get better. The thing is we never got a diagnosis with 100% certainty. I had a bad sinus infection that wasn't going away. I took an antibiotic and our best guess is that I had something called a 'post-viral arthopathy' (I probably spelled that wrong!). It took about two years to work through and I did end up taking Nortriptyline because it does have an off-label use for some of these bizarre neuropathy pains. I think my body, for whatever reason, had in insane over reaction to the antibiotics and it took a couple years to heal. The medicine helped dramatically but it took a year and a half to get there. I ended up stopping the medication after 6 years just to test if it would come back and it didn't.
