I am sorry you have struggled the last few nights @outlander. I hope you are able to get to the underlying cause soon. It may well be a combination of things and I do know that you are trying your best and that you are doing all you can to help yourself. Keep asking your Doctor questions and to stay intune to your body and the symptoms you are experiencing, and explain that to the Doctor and see how they can best help. Its important that they take your concerns seriously though and try to work with you. Your aim is to get the right diagnosis so you can get the right treatment and care. I do understnd that our internal system can be affected by stress. But in saying that its not a good idea to ignore our body when we are pain and its best to see a Doctor when we have concerns.Hope this helps

Yes - I will have to go to bed soon @outlander
I still have to have my shower but I have done a load of washing and tidied my kitchen and sorted paper work and found a few documents I was looking for - I knew they were in the pile of paper near my computer
Just for now I am okay - but the act of showering might make me go to bed because of my spine - but I am here for now
You need to rest too - I know the computer-police say it is not good for us to used phones and computers and TV - even read or do puzzles - because we need to sleep and these disturb us - but I have trouble falling asleep some nights and I used them all and fall asleep
But you do need that yourself - but I am here for a short while yet - and I will have to watch that movie at some future date - it has been really interesting just hearing it and seeing little bits

Glad you have a GP appointment tomorrow and hopefully it is a better visit than it has today.

Do hope you manage get some rest really soon xx
