Hello,

I have both of them in addition to other health problems. You are not alone; trust me on that.

I'm glad you are going to hospital so they can run tests and make sure you're not anemic. Do as much as you can and rest when you must and don't beat yourself up when you're too tired to get all the chores done.

I bought a four inch foam mattress and put it on top of my regular mattress. It helps my sleep so much. I don't hurt nearly as much. I also purchased a desk chair and a recliner that fits my height and gives me soft but firm support.

Also, a carbohydrate free diet helps so much. It is very hard for me to maintain because I'm addicted to sugar, but it really does make a huge change in the way I feel.

I wish you all the best,

Jan

I was wondering if anyone else suffers from either of these conditions and could help me feel less alone if it is this? It certainly looks like a very possible chance it is, but I shall find out (hopefully) soon...

Thank you for reading.
