Can anyone tell me if what I have is symptoms of fibromyalgia or arthritis or something. I had a fractured rib last year from an auto accident and I am still suffering from nerve pain in that spot that won’t go away. I go to pain management for it. Somedays my whole body hurts or aches. Like right now. My muscles will ache like I’ve done something to pull them but I haven’t. I have soreness around my sides, in my back. I just think there’s something else going on with my body. Plus I’m so tired all the time that I can barely even function throughout a day without taking a nap. I’m only 38 years old and that doesn’t seem normal. Please someone tell me what you think it could be.
Also when I wake up in the morning, my legs hurt and feet are sore.

There was an incident in my home recently. My brother is very ill, the police in my area are well aware of this, 2.5 years ago he stabbed someone, and he has not been called to court yet.

Last night, my brother snapped out due to withdrawal from opiates, he cut himself, threatened to commit suicide, and exclaimed he was going to kill me, my mother, and father.

He punched my disabled, elderly mother in the leg which was extremely painful for her, she gets spasms all over her body anyway, she cried when he hit her, and my Mother doesn’t cry unless it really hurts, she had to limp over to the bed. She has a collapsed/bulging/ruptured discs, rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathy and a neurostimulator in her back which has wires that connect to her spine, if he had hit her in the right place, he could paralyze her. We called the police, told them everything that happened, my brother had taken off, the officers returned later with paperwork for my mother, they went into his room to make him get up to talk to him, looked at his wrist, one of the officers said it was very deep. He then called an ambulance, my brother refused treatment, which the officer said is his right. My mother and I tried to get it thru their head that he is dangerous and has the characteristics of a murderer, that my brother listens to his music, and fantasizes about different ways to kill us, etc. My brother also told the cops he planned on finding acid and pouring it on my face. They wouldn’t arrest him.

They said the most they could do is tell him he isn’t allowed inside the house for the night, my mother told the officer he would just sneak back in the house thru his window, so the officer went back outside to talk to my brother, and I guess he told him to keep it cool and go to bed. When they left, he went ballistic again, exclaiming how he is an informant for the police, and he can do anything he wants, breaking items, more threatening, shoving me (he scares me so I leave the room.)

Moral of the story is… I don’t think this is right, a friend of mine told me in Delaware it is the law that if there is domestic violence in the house, they HAVE to arrest him. My parents have tried kicking him out, the last time they did he gave us a “warning” by breaking a window, he also said if they do he is going to burn the house down with us in it, I know people make stupid threats all the time, but this kid is capable. My brother is 25 years old.

If anyone could please help me find information on the Delaware Statutes, point me in the right direction, or who I can call to talk to that may be able to override this small police department, please. We are worried about our lives. They did tell her she can put out a warrent, but on the paper they gave her, they put down that the victim was not injured, they said it was nothing more then offensive touching, they also noted that no drugs were involved, even though my mother and I informed them he steals medication from both my mother, and father, and he is on several anti-psychotic medications, that he does not use properly. He takes so many he can’t keep his eyes open. (Today my mother is calling his doctor to inform him of the situation)
I have NO idea why they wouldn’t take him. I have been up all night, trying to figure this out, on the paper says it was “offensive touching” I mean the threats, the damage, I don’t understand. My brain is fried. A friend of my Mom’s also told her that cops prey on people with mental disorders, to be informers for the neighborhood, her ex was one of them, she was constantly being abused, called the cops.. they never took him out. And the fact that he stabbed someone with a 5” blade, and no court date has been set kind of confuses me.
The police have been coming here for 10 years over his psychotic breakdowns. They know he has a psychiatrist, and that he is bi-polar, ADHD, OCD, abcdefg… and does not use his medication as prescribed, I was going to call his doctor, but I feel it isn’t my business, so I will wait for my mother to wake up and call. I made some phone calls myself, everyone I talked to either acted like “Why are you calling me?” or “call this number” and when I call that number, they give me another one. I live in a sh!tty state. I called the victim line, County can’t do anything, they told me to talk to Elsmere Police, most of which are……..I don’t want to say it on here, but they aren’t the friendliest of people. Out on $60,000 bail, terroristic threatening, hurting his disabled mother, and those $(#(#$)$% cops put down “offensive touching” and “the victim was not injured” I had to rub her leg out last night to try and remove the spasm.
I did find some statutes, he should have been charged with terroristic threatening, and assault. I can’t get over they put on that paper my mother was not injured, she is a STRONG woman, she can take some pain, when she cries, and limps trying to get to the bed after he hurt her, it’s bad. God bless all of you, and I really mean that. Because everyone I called treated me like I was the scum of the earth. I left a message at the attorney generals office, I’ll just have to see what happens. Thank you, really… I’ve been crying all night, because I don’t want my Mommy to be hurt or paralyzed, all it takes is one shot to her hip, or lower spine, and she’s done. I need her…I love her, I am 21 years old, and I can’t fathom the thought of ever leaving her side.
Thank you, really… thank you. and God bless you for making me feel better.
They wont remove him….they treated it as an “oh well” situation.

Please, any advice would be helpful.
They don’t care… Elsmere cops are…. I don’t want to say the word, but I think you’ll get my drift, they just don’t care. I called County, state… Attorney General, Victim assistance. No help, they say call Elsmere, The fact that they put on the paper that my mother was not injured, and no drugs were involved when I told the police he is an addict in withdrawal, concerns me. Cops never protected me…….the cops even lied on the paper they said his weapons were his hands and feet. I am calling them right now. This is so unfair, I don’t want to lose my mother.

My Sister who had MS was 49 years old passed away 4 months ago. the story is that she wasn’t feeling good for a couple of days. she went to the doctors and they said they couldn’t find anything really wrong with her, her leg was swollen prior to the visit. but doctor told her it was arthritis. she complained about her leg on several occasions. the last day she complained on the phone she wasn’t feeling well and had problems not be able to get up out of bed to go to the bathroom.she couldn’t walk. we told her we will call 911.but she refused and said she would get her son to do it. as the story unfolds-her husband told us she crawled out of bed and fell in the living room complaining she couldn’t breath. her son called his dad at work but didn’t call 911 instead. maybe shock. dad called instead. she died in living room floor in front of her 19 year old son.. she was a chain smoker. smoke two packs a day, high cholesterol and had MS but not wheel chair bound. her husband refused an autopsy. her death certificate says. aneurysm of the heart due to smoking. her husband states it was lung cancer, that she told him awhile back but didn’t want any treatment. her husband states her white blood cells were extremely high. my family thinks it was a blood clot in her leg that traveled up. she did have xrays done on her swollen leg but doctors didn’t see anything. but the clot could had been in her hip at that time? her death is a shock to us all. but something is bothering me inside. how can her own husband not know for sure how she really died? they been together 35 years, teenage sweethearts. its not like her not to say something to her family that she was dying of lung cancer. wouldn’t we know anyway? can it be undetected? .her MS was controlled and she was on a steroid which made her look bloated in face. she also complained on the last day of blurred vision,dizziness.

So, for four years, I’ve been having weird symptoms and they will not go away. I’ve been to countless doctors and been on so many meds I’ve lost track.
It all started with just knee pain, in the joint. I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. After trying every single medicine for arthritis, nothing worked. Over the years, my symptoms have gotten worse. Now, I have pain every single day all over my body. I have sores under my tongue and I can barely make it through a week of school because I randomly start feeling like I have the flu, with body aches, chills, and that overall not feeling well feeling. I am so tired I literally cannot get out of bed at least once every two weeks. Im always cold and my toes and fingers get pins and needles out of the blue. I also get thus weird rash behind my legs, and no matter what i try it wont.go away. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a disorder where your brain interprets pressure as pain. All the medicines im on now (lyrics, gabepentin, provigil to help.keep me awake, and amitriptiline) do nothing but make me tired or high strung and unable to concentrate. I’ve never heard of another teen with fibromyalgia, an I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and had any tips or anything? Thank you so much.

I have a few questions for you that are crucial, and may lead to a cure:

1) Do you or have you ever smoked?
2) what is the severity level of your pain from a scale of 1-10 with 10 being completely immoble
3) do certain foods make you sick?
4) Do you drink?
5) what age did RA start for you
6) where do you feel pain?

If you answer just 1 question that’s good enough for me, if you can answer these questions for someone else that’s good to.
oh and do you take anything with nicotine, such as nicorete gum?

I went to the neurologist with aching pain through my entire right arm, including my elbow, wrist, and fingers. Sometimes it even hurts to breathe from the pain in my back. The MRI showed that I have minor degenerative arthritis and a small disk protrusion at c5-c6. I have been in terrible pain and thought I would finally receive some treatment. My neurologist wrote the results in a letter to me, as I read to the end he said he couldn’t understand where my pain could be coming from and said he had no treatment for me. Am I crazy? Isn’t c5-c6 where the nerves run into the arms and even down to the fingers. Could anyone help me understand this? Is it because the protrusion is small?

I have this thing where I pass out a lot, last year I passed out like 25 or more times. I am afraid that I will pass out alone and something happen to me. I also have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and it is very sever and I thought the dog could help me with that on the really bad days. Also I will be 15 in a month and a girl if that makes a difference. So could a service dog help me?

Somewhere that is afordable.
