Hi Robin,
Yes, yes and yes!!! I went for almost 3 years with this before I was diagnosed !!! It *****!! Because some doc don't believe in FBS and some do.. I had to go to and arthritis specialist to get the diagnosed...

He put me on gabapentin and it works, but the side effects are something that I'm not willing to deal with anymore... That's a whole mother story!!

For you, I'm so so sorry!!! You are so young... I'm 51 and I to have ddd and Hashimoto's, arthritis in my neck, I get really bad head aches and have had one injection in my neck, now they want to go on and kill the nerve, but again that's another story..

I'm looking into trying for disability, but I do know it's hard!! And you need a good lawyer to help you to appeal there decision, and it does take time, but from what I was told, if it does go through on appeal, they have to pay you all that bak time, from when you first started the process... So stick with it...

Sweetie, I feel your pain and aggravation, because I use to be a go getter and now I feel as of I'm stuck in this pale and will never move forward again with the things I not only have to and need to do!! But also with the things I enjoyed doing... But I'm not giving up!!and neither should you... So keep looking and keep fighting!!! Especially for those little ones you have...

Wish I could give you a hug!!!
