Dealing With The Nerve Damage with Lupus

March 7th, 2008

My nerves in my feet seem to be back on the rampage tonight. I’ve got nerve damage in both of them. I went through 4 years of agonizing pain before the doctor put a name with the pain. I spent these four years telling my doctors about my symptoms. Most of them tried to down play the pain. It was so discouraging.

When the doctor that listened ran tests it explained a lot. I have severe nerve damage in both of my legs along with myopathy, which is muscle damage. It was a long road to finding out what was wrong with my legs. It was a relief in many ways. I was relieved that the pain was not in my head, as I’ve been told many times. I will be forever thankful to the doctor who referred me and the doctor who diagnosed me. I have peripheral neuropathy in both legs. My arms are affected by the nerve and muscle damage as well.

    I’m going through some really bad times now with my legs. (I just got done posting and whining about it, LOL) I’m really glad you found the right doc to listen to you. Cross your fingers for me!
