I am in so much pain today!! It's so hard to tell whether it's the CMT or the RA. Oh, sorry, CMT--Charcot-Marie Tooth's Disease. It has nothing to do with teeth (Tooth was a last name of one on the "discoverers"). It falls under the Muscular Dystrophy umbrella and mine not only affects my feet and legs, but also the intrinsic muscles in my fingers. I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I'm taking Cymbalta to combat the neuralgia from the CMT as well as depression. Not sure how it's working on either except I do know I don't feel like strangling the next person I hear breathing when I take it so it must be ok. For the RA I should be taking Humira, but I can't afford it. And I do have insurance, but my co-pay is so high, that if I got all my medications I should, I would be paying $210/month; which, I know, compared to some is nothing, but to me it's everything. So I have had to stop the Humira and for the last two weeks the pain has been getting worse and worse. My hips are killing me, my fingers, elbows, back, on and on and on. I do wear my braces for the CMT for my feet, so those aren't so bad, but I almost fell getting out of bed this morning. Ooohhh, and if this isn't enough, I now have a urinary tract infection. AARRGGH!! I'm sorry for venting, as I know there a ton more people with much more serious problems, I'm just in so much pain, which in turns sets off the depression, which in turn sets off the comfort eating, which sets off the depression and self-loathing. I'm trying so hard not to cry, but it isn't working. If anyone does read this, thank you.
