hard–to-bear rare pain - has come again and again. I would give for health my share of wealth not needed so unimpeded I’d be

I know...terrible to feel helpless...though blessed in many ways, constant pain is a bummer -- even small jabs, taking savage little bites of light from one's loving heart. I know firsthand how you feel.

Not the same challenge you have...but I know what it is to suffer physically/mentally seeming endlessly and alone. Blessings my friend. Did not mean to mislead you.

No they did lots of tests and can't even diagnose it. I now have empathy for those that suffer chronic pain especially when they did nothing but listen to a doctor whose meds got them unhealthy.

Hello Andrea, No doctor does not know of what you are going through! How to treat it! Wow ! I thought doctors knew what this illness is and how to treat it. Hugs. /Darlene/

not sure I got the meaning of the bzatre word. I am so healthy, but the effects are toxins that I guess my body refuses to release, and Prolia did something to my nervous system and my saliva. I think I'm stuck with these things for life and no doctor I go to has ever heard of these things. Such a bummer!
