I think I have figured out why I have Neuropathy and Myopathy.......
There was an article released yesterday by "Science Daily": http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0525210340.htm
It says that people who have had Gastric Bypass are now showing up with Neuropathy problems!! That's me! After all of my tests they have showed that I am low in Carnitine, Vit. D, and B-12.....and not sure what else.....I get those test results next Monday. I have every symptom of being low in vitamins and minerals. I've started supplements and will probably have to start B-12 shots (and I hate shots!) and not sure what else.......it's a very long road and there's usually not a full recovery......there's always never and muscle damage.
I'm taking Lyrica now and it's causing me to gain weight....after losing from gastric bypass.
I see my Rheumatologist again on Monday....I'll talk with him about all of this and my husband is going with me.
I've been seeing a counselor.....but I think I'm going to try to find another one. Everytime I see her I have to tell her all over again what my problems are! She writes them down each time I'm there.....it's SO frustrating! I'm paying her big bucks and she can't keep track of why I'm there??? Am I crazy?? GEES! It's been the longest 4 months of my life since I started having the neuropathy pain.....I'm completely worn out. I really didn't need one more lousy problem!......thanks for listening to me rant
