Should I Be Worried?

I'm Worried

Hey all-
i have submitted a topic before on this, but lately I have been so worried about myself.
I am still having the muscle weakness feeling in my arms and legs. It never interferes with me picking up and holding my 3 yr old daughter. I guess it is more like if I hold her too long or if I mow the lawn or anything like that, I experience muscle exhaustion in my arms. Then if I wear heels for too long, my shins get really bad shooting pains almost like charlie horses in them and my legs experience the muscle exhaustion. I am a hypochondriac so I am thinking the worst. Then I hadn't had sex with my boyfriend for like a week or so and we had sex and now my hips are terribly sore. I mean could I be that out of shape? I am a busy busy woman caring for a 3 yr old, going to school and working part time in a pre school. Just typing this makes my arms get exhausted. I am always exhausted just all around. I have no desire to do much anymore. I think part of me is depressed. I hate cleaning my house, working out, anything that uses energy.
I experience these symptoms of weakness, but they usually last like a half hour tops and it can be off and on throughout the day and not every single day, but close to it.
I have been to my Dr., but he thinks it is my anxiety. I had a cat scan and I know mri is more accurate. All my Dr. Did was check my reflexes and said it was nothing.
I am worried. What is wrong with me??? Is anyone familiar with any of these symptoms?

I'm With You!

anxiety!! Find another doctor...Seriously. That is the kind of crap I put up with when I was in the marine corps. They always made me feel like my pain and numbness was in my head. It's been 10 years, I still don't have a "diagnosis", and my symptoms are getting worse. Like this week, I am having serious difficulty walking and my arms keep going numb. I'm afraid it will noticeably affect my job if it goes on much longer.

Worried?

Please let me tell you about a product called reliv. It is a wonderful nutritional supplement that really works. I had horrible back pain every day, i've been on reliv for 3 months and I have no pain at all. I am full of energy and I feel great. Please go to reliv.Com and check it out. Its a pure antioxidant powder that you mix with water or juice and drink. I am now a distributor because I want to share it with everyone. I am so glad I found this product, it is amazing. My friend had migraines for years, she has been on it for 5 months and after only 2 months on reliv the headaches totally stopped. Never had one since. And her menopause hotflashes are no more!! Its a wonderful product.
It has totally helped my husbands friend he is a plumber and had carpal tunnel so bad he was taking ibuprofen every day. He is pain free and doesn't ever take the meds anymore. The stories are endless. Its true I mean it, it works.

Worry No More.....

I also have first hand experience with the same types of symptoms you were going through. I was introduced to an all natural product called tahitian noni juice. I really liked the fact that it was just a juice but had all types of benificial properties to it. The fact that I found several other people that had heard and tried it gave me some reassurance. I got me a bottle and reluctantly tried it.

I can truely say it has been a blessing to me. In about two weeks after I started to drink the juice, I could feel the extra boost of energy. I don't know when but I noticed I wasn't aching anymore like I use to.

The best part was that I did find it in the physician desk reference (pdr) which is sometimes referred to as the doctors bible. It was in the 2003 - 24th edition and to my surprise, it stated in that pdr that it had no side effects, therefore I could drink it and it would not cause any problems with my other medications. I was so overwelmed that I did sign up as a distributor for two reasons. 1) because the juice really worked, 2) to get it cheaper. If you like, you can go to the website and read all the info on it an actually order right off the site.
