Hi my Internet name is Sue. I am glad I found this forum. I am from Cornwall Ontario. In the fall of 2004 I found out I had ADHD anxiety and learning problems. The anxiety I always knew I had but not the ADHD or learning problems but wondered about the learning problems. My ADHD is severe even on medication. In 2004 I also got a disease from the flu shot which is called CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demylenating Polyneuropathy) It affects my nerves and muscles. I also had most of my life depression.

I will be 45 yrs old next month and I find things at times overwhelming. Also last year I was told I had tendinitis in my hands that is not going away. After over 1 year you would think it would be gone? Also I had hearing problems all my life. Mostly my left ear. While last year when my Tendinitis was at my worst I was losing my hearing in both ears. I also got my first 5 days of IVIG treatment in Ottawa. The day after my treatments I got put on a high dose of prednisone for my hearing which helped it bring most of it back to the way it was a month earlier. It also helped my tendinitis but did not take it all away. Now the Tendinitis is getting worse again and I notice my hearing is getting worse again and there is not much I can do for it.

Also in 2004 I started having back problems and that didn't go away not sure what is causing that. It affects my shoulders all the way done my legs and thighs.

I had an MRI scheduled for a Saturday in April but it was canceled because the MRI Tech needed more info from my DR who ordered it but they couldn't reach her so it got canceled. Still waiting for her to reschedule. The tendinitis right now is giving me a hard time because I feel I am losing more strength every day in my hands which affects the rest of my body.

I am a production line worker at a job I have been at 24 years as of this June. I am on modified work but that makes people mad.

I also have a accessible parking pass which I use because some days I don't have the energy to get out of the house after a days work or on my days off.

I had a nerve biopsy on my ankle in June 2005 and it still hurts today. You would think after 3 years it would be gone the pain?

I think of all of it the ADHD which is severe and the tendinitis the worst I endure everyday. The others are also bad. Actually all make my life a living hell. I wish there was a quick fix but I know things don't work that way.

I have 2 counselors I see that help me get my self esteem back and help me deal with the BS I endure everyday. Last year was the worst because most people I work with thought I was hypochondriac. Didn't believe I had all of these problems and I was being harassed almost everyday which made my depression really bad.

Sorry for the long post I just had to get this stuff of my chest so to speak.

Thanks Halo. I lost 2 brothers to lung disease when they were teenagers that affected me a lot and still does and right now my Dad had a major stroke so he is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He also has other major problems. Life stinks sometimes and there is nothing you can do about it but try to get through it.
I wish I didn't have to work anymore it is just to hard on my mind knowing I hate it more then I ever did.

Thanks for the welcome

Sue

PS: Thanks LadyLore

Thanks Braveheart, Poss, and Lana.
Things just get frustrated and you know your physical health is getting worse and nobody seems to help me. They are so worried that some drugs taken long enough is not good for a person body. But they have to realize if I don't get the right medication I need to fix my problems then I would have to quit working. So I say fix the problems for now then worry about the consequences later.

I am glad I joined this forum :)
