Just wanted to say.....

I made a comment in Presley's birthdays announcement that I have been ill... Well I have been ill since July in a lot of pain that makes me ill to my stomache. I have been tested for numerous things and they have no idea what is causing me such pain. I am on a waiting list to see the joint specialist who comes up here ever 6 months or so! I just wanted to say that i it is nothing personal why i don't post (i can hardly type anymore). Anyways Candy is the only one i have shared any of this with... It is kinda distressing when you are only 28yo and it takes you like 45 minutes to get out of bed in the mornings and you can drive cause you can't wrap your fingers around a streeringwheeling... frusrtrating and very scary.....

anyways i just thought i would let you know as some of you were wishing i was better....
thanks for those wishs..
Melissa

Melissa,
I think you should pack yourself up along with precious Presley and come to Pittsburgh. We have all kinds of specialists and excellent hospitals in the area and they don't make you wait 6 months to see them. You could stay with me and then I could help you start training Presley in duck hunting! Just an idea!!!!

**Starts packing** I would love to come and visit with you Candy! You are a pretty special friend to me and Presley, I think you know that too :) Thank you everyone :)

Melissa,

Have they tested for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?? I know that it causes joint pain as well as being tired. I know how you feel too. I walk like a 90 year old with my leg. I posted in Dog Health for you too about Presley's seizures. Good luck!!

also have you beem tested for Lyme disease? it also causes major fatigue and joint pain. I would know I have cronic Lyme and it sucks. I know, were I live 80% of the adult ticks are carrying it. If you need more imfo you can e-mail me anytime. And I will try to help.

Yikes! That sounds painful! I sincerely hope that you can find some relief, and feel better soon!!

Melissa, we will be praying that the doctor will find out what's wrong with you. Don't give up. Please let us know, when you can, how you are doing. {{{HUG}}}

I do hope they find what is wrong. Prayers and hugs your way, as long as the hugs don't hurt!! :(
Those are some good conditions to be tested for another is Lupus or Rhumatoid Arthritis.

hi guys,
I have been tested for lupus and Rhumatoid Arthritis. The Lyme disease we are waiting for those tests to come back now. That could very well be an option as i was camping this summer.. Anyways i am off back to bed..
Take care and thank you so much for your support. :)

Sorry to hear about this Melissa. We will be praying the doctors can find an answer for you so they can treat it.
