I am becoming so drained on top of the fatigue I've already been plagued by. I've had to stop working out like I was because it ALWAYS causes a flare up. Being awake hurts. Sleeping hurts. Waking up hurts the most. I spend a lot of days just crying in bed because of this pain. And I didn't cry when I got in a car wreck that involved a broken wrist/arm, damaged knee, and burns. But this is debilitating.
Sitting too long hurts. Standing too long hurts. Laying down makes it worse. It's just getting to me. I am so tired of this pain. I have chronic inflammation of the connective tissues + cartilage + chest wall, all in my chest. And found out yesterday I have gallstones. But my other joints hurt and throb and we still haven't found out what it is.
My Sedimentation Factor - Westregen was 68 on a 0-32 scale. That's a lot of pain.
I'm crying while typing this. I want to know whats wrong with me, completely. I am tired of suffering through everyday and feeling sick constantly. I just want answers and ways to cope.
